Incumbent Paul Pate (R) defeated Joel Miller (D) in the general election for Iowa Secretary of State on November 8, 2022.

Michaela Ramm of the Des Moines Register wrote the following about the election results: “Republican Paul Pate has secured his fourth term as Iowa’s top elections official...Pate defeated Democratic challenger Joel Miller, the Linn County auditor...The candidates, who have each spent more than a decade working on Iowa's elections, clashed in their current roles and throughout the campaign...”^[1]

Connor Day of WQAD 8 wrote the following about a post-election recount in this race: “Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate has called for a recount in Scott County after an error in the counting of absentee ballots was found, according to a post published to his Twitter and Facebook accounts. In the post, Sec. Pate revealed that a mistake was made in the tabulation of Scott County's absentee ballot numbers. Later, Scott County Auditor Kerri Tompkins identified the mistake, revealing that 470 (2%) of the Absentee and Special Voters Precinct ballots were affected. [Pate] issued a call to county officials to begin an administrative recount of the ballots as soon as possible.”^[2]

Joel Miller (D)

Make Voting Easy Again! But to do so, Iowans must #FirePaulPate. Why? 1> Pate pocket vetoed two proposed amendments to the Iowa Constitution by failing to publish them in official newspapers. Pate blamed the mistake on staff and fired a top appointee. Legislature took away Pate's duty to publish amendments. 2> Pate negligently inactivated 17-year-olds not eligible to vote in the November 2020 election. Pate blamed the Legislature for making the law. Legislature changed law to prohibit Pate from inactivating 17 year-olds in the future. 3> Pate silent on voter suppression contained in 2021 election law changes. No leadership. Did not register For/Against/Neutral on law during debate or after passage. See www.joelmiller.org for more.

Make Elections Fair Again! 1> Allocating one absentee ballot drop box per county is not fair. Iowa should allocate drop boxes based upon population. 2> Lower number of signatures required for citizens to request a satellite voting place. Number required unfair. Base number on recently passed law which lowered signature requirements for county supervisors, e.g., 21 signatures for counties of 15,000 or less.

Put Voters First Again! 1> Print absentee ballot request forms in newspapers as I did before 11/2/2021 election, and as I am doing for 6/7/2022 primary election. 2> Increase hours to early vote by keeping election offices open longer M-F, add hours on weekends, and/or be open on holidays. For 6/7/2022 election, voters in my county will have the option to early vote on each of the 20 days allowed for early voting. 3> Identify unregistered households and mail them voter registration forms on a quarterly basis. The key to participation is registration!

Paul Pate (R)

Continuing to protect the sanctity and security of Iowa's elections are my top priorities. while increasing voter registration and participation. Iowa was recently named one of the top three states in the nation for election administration. I'd like us to be #1. We've made it easy to vote but hard to cheat. Under my watch, that will continue.

Under my watch, Iowa has set record highs for voter registration and participation multiple times. Iowa is a national leader in both. We implemented Iowa's online voter registration system in 2016, making it faster and easier to register than ever. We also created the Safe at Home address confidentiality program, so survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, trafficking, stalking and assault can vote without fear of their address becoming public. More than 1,200 Iowans participate in the program. My office works with stakeholder groups and expends significant resources to educate Iowans about law changes and deadlines. We will continue to to make it easy to vote but hard to cheat.

I wrote Iowa's Voter ID laws and defended successfully in court multiple times. We have Voter ID at the polls and on absentee ballot requests. These are important safeguards. My office works closely with multiple state and federal agencies to protect our election cybersecurity and ensure voters and poll workers are safe in all 99 counties. There is zero evidence of any unauthorized intrusions into Iowa’s election systems. Our voter registration system resides in a secure facility with the same standards of protection the FBI uses. It has multiple intrusion detection and protection systems in place. The State of Iowa is dedicated to protecting the integrity and security of your vote.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Joel Miller (D)

I am passionate about maintaining and improving our democracy by increasing the engagement of our citizens at all levels of government. Engagement begins with voter registration, i.e., giving citizens the option to vote if/when they choose to vote. I firmly believe the challenges governments face are not caused by too few citizens being involved; on the contrary, not enough citizens are involved.

Paul Pate (R)

Elections, voting, helping Iowans with disabilities participate in the process, and providing Iowa's business community with the service it deserves. I'm also committed to providing address confidentiality for survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, assault, tracking, and stalking. We must also keep fighting against human trafficking. It is a form of modern day slavery.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

Joel Miller (D)

The Office of Secretary of State is the chief election official for the State of Iowa. The foundation of our democracy starts with fair elections. In that sense, the Secretary of State is the most important elected office in the State.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Joel Miller (D)

My father, the Honorable Kenneth D. Miller, Iowa State Representative from 1973 - 1982.

My father died in office in 1982. He loved serving the people and he loved serving with his fellow legislators. He was always looking out for the "little guy", to ensure the little guy was being represented. He never forgot his roots.

My father would always drop was he was going to help a friend or neighbor in need. Even though his unfinished work would be awaiting him when he returned.

Each day, I try to emulate his example of humility, unselfishness, public service, and servant leadership. I try to do the "right thing" by and for the people each day.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Joel Miller (D)

Always tell the truth to the public even when it is your fault, the fault of your employees/associates, or when it is inconvenient. Be as transparent as possible. Respond to public records requests as soon as possible. And if you are going to err on providing information of public interest, err on the side of providing too much information.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Joel Miller (D)

I try to do the "right thing" for the public/taxpayers every day regardless of who disagrees with me, and sometimes to my own detriment.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Joel Miller (D)

Honor, humility, empathy, and servant leadership.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Joel Miller (D)

My long-lasting mission has been to leave the world in a better place than it was in 1955 when I arrived.

For elections, my vision is every person engaged in government.

As Secretary of State, my vision would be: 75% of the eligible electors of the State of Iowa voting in presidential year general elections - not just 75% of the registered voters. An eligible elector is any person 18 years of age who meets the qualifications to vote.

We have thousands of unregistered voters in this State. Let us pass legislation to allow for automatic voter registration at the age of 17 years. In one generation, about 20 years, most eligible electors would be registered to vote.

In conjunction with getting more eligible electors registered to vote, let us pass legislation allowing the State to provide candidates' guides to every registered voter. We cannot continue to ask voters to vote on people and referendums they know nothing about. If we want informed voters, then provide them easy to use guides to begin the decision-making process on who and what to vote for or against.

And finally, let us develop secure, convenient ways to vote, and reverse Iowa's recent trend to make voting by mail and early voting as inconvenient as possible.

I want every eligible elector to vote. My legacy: When I leave the Office of Secretary of State, Iowa's voter turnout - as a percentage measured against all eligible electors - is not only the highest in the Nation, but 10% points higher than any other State in the Nation.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Joel Miller (D)

President John F. Kennedy's assassination. I was sitting in Mrs. Greenley's third grade class in Washington Emerson Elementary School in Independence, Iowa.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Joel Miller (D)

I was a farm hand on our family's dairy farm from the time I could tote a bucket of grain to the time we sold the dairy cattle ... about 12 years. Our dairy farm was unique. We milked the cows, pasteurized and homogenized the milk, bottled it, and delivered it door-to-door circa 1954 - 1971.

What responsibilities of this office do you personally consider the most important?

Joel Miller (D)

Election administration. Put voters first. If you put voters first in every decision, you will likely not make a bad decision administering elections.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

Joel Miller (D)

Our current Secretary of State has zero experience in running local elections. The best qualified candidates for the Office of Iowa Secretary of State are likely to come from local election officials who have administered multiple elections.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

Joel Miller (D)

Leadership. The Secretary of State is a state-wide leadership position. The position deserves to be filled by someone who wants every eligible elector to vote. I am a voter advocate. I WANT EVERY ELIGIBLE ELECTOR TO VOTE!

Attention to detail. The Code of Iowa contains over 600 pages of election laws. In addition, there are several hundred pages of administrative rules related to elections.

Details matter and current Secretary of State Paul Pate has recently neglected at least two important communications to the public: 1> His office published two county candidate guides containing contradictory candidate deadlines - see FAQ #1 at www.joelmiller.org and 2> His office recently distributed a public service ad to TV stations around the State which indicated early voting begins on May 23rd when it actually begins on May 18th - see FAQ #3 at www.joelmiller.org
