In Minnesota, we take pride in our fair and secure elections. I’ll protect the fundamental freedom to vote, even if it means standing up to bullies.

The federal government may try some ridiculous stunts over the next couple of weeks. I encourage all eligible Minnesota voters to shut out the noise, keep their focus on the election, and make sure they cast their vote.

Minnesota is #1 in the nation for election performance—measuring both access AND security. Don’t take it from me. Take it from MIT’s rigorous, nonpartisan study. And we’re in good company, alongside other high-performing states like North Dakota and Nebraska, both with Republican Secretaries of State. Proud of what we’ve accomplished together to keep Minnesota’s elections free, fair, secure, and accurate.

It’s National Voter Registration Day! To find out how to register to vote, or to check your registration status, go to mnvotes.gov.

Great news! SCOTUS has blocked the deeply flawed scheme to force the U.S. Postal Service to police voter eligibility. This ruling ensures that eligible Minnesota voters will be able to cast a mail ballot in 2026, if they choose, without interference from the federal government.

Our elections in Minnesota are decentralized by design. Know the facts. #BeAVoter

It is still safe and secure to vote by mail in Minnesota. Minnesota challenged the Trump administration’s executive order restricting mail voting—and won. Despite what recent headlines might suggest, the proposed USPS changes have not been implemented, and we’re confident and hopeful they won’t be at all.

We will always remember 9/11, and honor the thousands of Americans who lost their lives and loved ones that day.

Fair season is coming to a close! 🎡 Team Simon has been all across the state, showing up at county fairs and connecting with Minnesotans everywhere. A huge thank you to everyone who made these past few months such a success!
