Steve Simon (D)
Steve Simon, Minnesota’s Secretary of State, is driven by his deep roots in the state and his family’s values of hard work and community service. His grandfather, a Jewish immigrant from Lithuania, instilled a strong commitment to the freedom to vote, which Steve carries forward today.
After serving in the Minnesota House and as an Assistant Attorney General, Steve authored key voter access laws, including “No-Excuses” absentee voting and online registration, helping Minnesota lead the nation in voter turnout. As Secretary of State, he continues to defend democracy, combat disinformation, and protect vulnerable communities, all while working across party lines to strengthen voting rights and improve services for all Minnesotans.
