Meet Secretary of State Candidate Steve Simon
Website: https://stevesimonmn.com/
Party: Democratic-Farmer-Labor
Official Bio:
Steve’s family taught him to work hard, look out for others, and try to be part of something bigger than himself. Those core values have stuck with him his entire life. After graduating from law school at the University of Minnesota, he went to work as an Assistant Attorney General of Minnesota, with a focus on consumer protection and education issues, and he later worked in private practice.
In 2004, Steve was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives and earned a reputation as a hard worker and strong advocate. He served as Chair of the House Elections Committee and helped lead the fight against the harsh Voter ID amendment. Steve authored the groundbreaking “No-Excuses” Absentee Voting law, which allows Minnesotans to now vote from the comfort of their own home for any reason. He also authored the law that now allows online voter registration in Minnesota, and he has been an outspoken critic of special interest domination of our elections.
Steve’s commitment to the right to vote is largely driven by the experiences of his own family. His great grandparents fled Lithuania to America where they were free to vote for the leaders of their choice. And his father, an Army veteran, suffers from physical limitations that make it very difficult for him to travel to the polls on Election Day.
