Simon's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

Continue to expand access to the ballot: If you’re an eligible voter in Minnesota, it should be as easy as possible to vote. That’s why Steve supports early voting and other efforts to facilitate participation.

Remove barriers to voting: Some people want to make it harder to vote. Steve will be a strong voice against those efforts. That’s why he opposes all efforts to end same-day registration. And it’s why he supports an easier path for voter registration.

Be a Secretary of State for all Minnesotans. The Office of the Secretary of State should be dedicated to serving Minnesotans of all backgrounds and affiliations. Steve believes that fairness and integrity matter most.[7]

K-12 Schools

Excerpt: "We have to focus, above all else, on student achievement. Do what works. Ditch what doesn’t. And try new approaches."

Colleges and Universities

Excerpt: "A quality education system is the cornerstone of Minnesota’s economic success. We need to maintain our nationally known level of excellence as a center of higher learning. "

Healthcare

Excerpt: "We need to provide help for the thousands of hard-working Minnesotans who don’t have access to basic health insurance"

Tax Fairness

Excerpt: "I want government to rely less on unfair property taxes and more on revenue that’s based on the ability to pay."
