As someone that has had to overcome a number of challenges in my life, Ryan know what it feels like to struggle by and he wants everyone to have the resources they need to pick themselves up and succeed!
  • Health Care is costing Iowans way to much of thier limited resourses. "I will fight to make health care in iowa sustainable." -Ryan Morrison
  • Iowa Infrastructure is failing. Roads, bridgets, affordable housing are all some worst in the country. This is unexceptable! "I won't stop until Iowa's infrastructure is where it should be!" -Ryan Morrison
  • We live in a digital age. One where internet access is crutial for school, business, agriculture and so much more. "Broadband internet should be available to all Iowans, It's unacceptable that this isn't already available" -Ryan Morrison
Ryan Morrison is dedicated to fixing the health insurance mess that has lead to health insurance companies making the decisions for the patients, not themselves or their doctors. " I had insurance companies fight me for five years to get a test I needed that inevitably showed that had a pinched spinal cord! Five years of suffering, because they thought my symptoms didn't fit a spinal cord injury. In that time i had 4 MRI's of the brain, but couldn't get one for the spinal cord."

Ryan is dedicated to accomplishing progress on widespread rural broadband and improving infrastructure. "We need to focus less on special interest and big corporate tax breaks and focus on our rural communities. Internet access and affordable housing are non existent in large portions of Iowa. We need a Representative that fights to end this for our communities before there isn't anything left to protect."
I look up to my father, Roger Morrison, who worked morning, noon, and night to provide for his family. He was an honest, hard worker. He was always willing to help you out when you needed. Unfortunately I lost my father in 2015, because an insurance company made him sign a DNR order in order to receive the level of care he desired.
I'm a reader, dedicated to knowing all the facts before deciding on a best course of action. I prefer to be informed and make informed decisions.
A greater more prosperous Iowa.
Ryan's first job was as a waiter at Perkins.
All of the Harry Potter books. I fell in love with them when I was a kid. So much wonder and mystery. As I got older I appreciate the complexity of the universe that J.K. Rowling created. I think it's incredible what people can do when they dedicate themselves and put their mind to it.
Garth Brooks The River. I love that song.
Getting affordable and adequate health coverage for my family.
Ryan believes it's more important that the legislators understand the challenges of all of their constituents.
Global warming is going to put more and more strain on the farmers of Iowa. We need to come up with solutions immediately.
Absolutely, you need to know what other legislators concerns are. That's how you find solutions and compromises.
Independent, bi-partisan redistricting
