Grassley Wins Iowa Youth Straw Poll

WEST DES MOINES – This week, the Office of Secretary of State Paul Pate held the 2022 Spring Iowa Youth Straw Poll. Senator Chuck Grassley led the U.S. Senate ballot with nearly 40 percent of the vote among five candidates polled. 

“It’s important to motivate the next generation of Iowans to be politically active and encourage them to be a voter. I applaud the Secretary of State’s office for its innovative efforts to get our youth involved in government. I appreciate the strong support from Iowa’s youngest voters and thank them for their confidence in me as their Senator,” Grassley said.

The Iowa Youth Straw Poll is part of the Office of Secretary of State Paul Pate’s Election 101 curriculum. Students from around the state of Iowa are able to cast their vote in the primary elections for the Iowa Governor, U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate races.
