DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate announced that he was running for reelection on his social media platforms on Saturday.

In the video, he says that over his last decade in office, he has made it more secure to vote in the state by implementing voter ID and his efforts around cybersecurity.

During his time in office, he said that Iowa has broken records for voter registration and participation in elections. His current term ends in 2027; he has held the office from 1995 to 1999, and then again from 2015 to the present day.
