Politics

Ryan was announced as the independent candidate to run in the 2022 federal election in the seat of Kooyong. Her candidacy came about after she responded to an advertisement in The Age calling for an independent to unseat Josh Frydenberg who suffered an 8% swing against him in the 2019 Federal election.[12] Ryan’s campaign is backed by Voices of Kooyong and receives funding from the Climate 200 group.[12] Her campaign was reported to have 1500 volunteers and more than 2000 donors, as at April 2022.[13]

Media

Her policies, campaign and comments have been reported in The Sydney Morning Herald[14][15] both for Kooyong and the 2022 Federal election. Her calls for action on climate change have been reported in Seven Media, and The Age.[16][17][18] The top concerns for the electorate of Kooyong were reportedly climate change and the environment. Polling in April suggested she was leading[19] one of the 'high profile' seats in the 2022 election.[20]

Awards

Ryan has been awarded prizes for her research in neurology, in International Congress and Societies.[21]

  • 2000 - Child Neurology Society (USA).
  • 2022 - American Academy of Neurologists.
  • 2006 - XIth International Congress on Neuromuscular Disorders.

Personal life

Ryan is one of seven children and was raised in the Kooyong electorate. She lives in Hawthorn with her husband Peter, two step-children and a son.
