Expand all | Collapse all

I am a serial entrepreneur who has founded and led four high-tech companies over the past 30 years, following more than a decade of work as an engineer working on advanced space projects (popularly referred to as a "rocket scientist"). I am an environmentalist and energy expert, and the last three companies I started have developed numerous electric vehicle, hydrogen fuel cell, and renewable energy technologies that have been utilized around the world for the past quarter century. I started designing electric vehicles when Elon Musk of Tesla was still in college, and produced my first electric trucks more than 20 years before Tesla rolled out their first electric truck. I have a strong and diverse educational background, having studied engineering, economics, and political science at Stanford University. At Stanford, I earned a Bachelors degree in Political Science-Social Science with a concentration in Economics in 1980, and then received a Masters degree in Engineering-Economic Systems (now called "Management Science and Engineering") in 1981. Before attending Stanford, I grew up in New York City and attended public schools from kindergarten through high school. Throughout my life, I have learned to work with people of varying backgrounds and with differing political ideologies to solve complex problems, which is one of the many important skill sets I intend to bring to Congress if I am elected.
  • My first key message is that our nation is dangerously divided and that this is largely because too many Members of Congress have adopted the strategy of sowing discontent as a way to preserve political power. A prime example of this problem is "election denialism." Nearly 200 Members of Congress have falsely claimed that the 2020 Presidential election was "stolen," mainly because they are afraid they will be voted out of office if they tell the truth. The main reason I decided to run for Congress was because I feel we need more political leaders with the courage to tell Americans the truth and to work with members of the other party to solve our problems, even if it's not politically advantageous.
  • My second key message is that one of the truths we are not being told by our political leaders is that we can't keep "kicking the can down the road" by failing to address critical problems facing our society today. We need immigration reform and, once again, certain Members of Congress are holding up a bipartisan deal to achieve this because they want to use this problem as an election issue, rather than solving it. We also have to address the growing federal debt, even if this means cutting spending on some popular programs or raising taxes on certain wealthy individuals to balance the budget. I will be up front with the American people on such problems and I will work hard to find compromises so we can solve them.
  • My third key message is that I am the right candidate to address the problems I've just described, based on my intellect, strong business background, and demonstrated ability to assemble diverse coalitions to find "common ground" and solve complex problems. Immediately upon taking office, I will propose balanced solutions to our most pressing problems that will appeal to every rational thinker in Congress, whether Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. Together, we will make smart investments to protect Social Security, defend women's reproductive rights, develop new energy resources, reform immigration, combat the opioid crisis, defend democracy at home and abroad, and bring our fiscal house in order.
I am passionate about reducing the suffering of hard-working Americans who go to bed hungry, lack decent housing, or can't afford medical care because they are stuck in low-wage jobs or don't have enough savings for a comfortable retirement. To address these problems, I will propose several new educational initiatives, such as after-school programs to help keep at-risk teens from experimenting with drugs or getting into trouble, and more funding for vocational training to give high school graduates the skills they need for a good career. I am also passionate about protecting social security, addressing the opioid crisis by securing our border and expanding drug treatment programs, and protecting women's reproductive rights.
I look up to people who make major sacrifices for things they believe in, such as Muhammad Ali risking his career and freedom to protest the Vietnam War.
My political philosophy has been informed by many books and essays, reflecting a broad spectrum of political views. The problems facing modern society are complex, and I don't believe any single theorist or philosopher has come up with the perfect solution for dealing with them. My core political principles are based on protecting fundamental human rights, such as economic and religious freedom. These are the principles that have motivated millions of people to risk their lives to relocate to America, from colonial times to the present. The ideals relating to freedom that I value are discussed in John Locke's Second Treatise of Government and are reflected in the writings of other Enlightenment thinkers such as Thomas Paine, Adam Smith, and many of our founding fathers. The theme of personal responsibility as discussed in Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" also resonates with me. However, my thinking has also been influenced by the "muckrakers" of the early 20th Century and "New Deal" thinkers who emerged a few decades later, who recognized that unrestrained capitalism results in unfair disparities in wealth and exploitation of large segments of the population. I have drawn from all of these sources in developing a balanced political philosophy that recognizes the need for free enterprise to generate wealth, balanced by the need for a strong federal government to invest in education, infrastructure, reasonable safety regulations, and social "safety nets" to assure that large segments of the population aren't left behind when it comes to economic progress.
The most important characteristic of any elected official is honesty. When politicians aren't honest with themselves or the public, the results are very damaging because then the people don't know what to believe. When there are two sets of reality, the public becomes divided and begins to distrust our democratic institutions. This is the downward spiral that has caused other democratic societies in the past to fall into the hands of fascist dictators. A dangerous example of this phenomenon in America today is "election denialism." Purely for political gain, many Members of Congress have questioned the integrity of the 2020 Presidential election, despite the lack of any compelling evidence of widespread election fraud. This has caused a large percentage of the voting public to question whether our elections are free and fair. When people don't trust elections, they resort to other means to decide how society should be run, creating an environment ripe for authoritarian and fascist demagogues to grab power. Each Member of Congress is entitled to his or her own opinion on public policy issues, but is not entitled to their own facts. To preserve our democracy, it is vitally important that the vast majority of our representatives agree on basic facts such as who won and lost the last Presidential election. Agreement on basic facts is also an essential starting point for solving our most complex problems, such as dealing with climate change, adopting a fair tax code and adjusting spending so we don't hand a huge debt to our children and grandchildren, and managing our energy transition so we use the right mix of fossil fuels and renewable energy sources. As a new Member of Congress, I intend to be completely transparent with the American people, even if it involves conveying messages that some people don't want to hear, or that hurt my chances of being re-elected.
The qualities I possess that would make me a successful officeholder are my understanding of modern history, my technical expertise, and my ability to work with people of differing backgrounds and who hold different beliefs to solve complex problems.
The core responsibilities of someone elected to the House of Representatives are to pass a federal budget each year in a timely manner. These budgets should address the nation's most urgent needs, without running up huge budget deficits that force tomorrow's citizens to pay for government services that today's citizens enjoy. To achieve this, the government needs to be run more like a business, where leaders are accountable if the business wastes money or fails to address the needs of its customers. For too long, Members of Congress have acted as if they are not accountable to the American public, failing to pass budgets in time to avert chaotic government shutdowns and -- when they do pass budgets -- spending far more than the government raises in tax revenues. Just as these practices would put any private company out of business, they are also unsustainable in the public realm, and will eventually cause immense suffering throughout our country if these practices aren't improved. Another core responsibility of each elected House Member is to bring expertise in at least one important policy area to Congress, so collectively, the House of Representatives can make intelligent choices when it comes to the difficult choices of how to allocate finite government resources. My particular expertise is in energy and transportation, two critically important areas that greatly impact our quality of life. With my business expertise and experience in these areas, I can help Congress fulfill its core responsibilities to the American people.
I would like to leave the legacy of a leader who did his best to reduce human suffering in all its forms, and who put this ideal above my own political interests.
The first historical event that I remember in my lifetime was the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I recall everyone around me feeling a tremendous feeling of sadness.
My very first job was walking a neighbor's small brown dog Nikki, which earned me 30 cents per walk. My next job was slipping leaflets under apartment doors, for which I was paid one cent per apartment. My third job was selling boxes of candy to raise money for my elementary school, for which I wasn't paid anything but was awarded small prizes. My fourth job was babysitting for neighbors. My fifth job was working on an ice cream truck and gave me the opportunity to drive all over Manhattan, serving ice cream to some of the richest and poorest people in our country during the same day. Love of ice cream was a unifying factor and taught me at an early age that we all have something in common.
Keeping the Dream Alive - Putting NASA and America Back in Space -- because I wrote it.
Superman.
"Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree" by Tony Orlando and Dawn.
For the past 30 years I have struggled with psoriatic arthritis, a disease which can be very painful and disfiguring. Fortunately, I've been able to control this condition for the past several years with a new biological drug, which has been nothing short of a "miracle cure." This experience has made me sensitive to the plight of the millions of Americans who suffer from various autoimmune diseases, and has helped me recognize how important it is for our citizens to be able to afford the medical care and drugs that can increase their quality of life so dramatically.
The House of Representatives is unique in that the barriers to running for office are very low, enabling almost any citizen to serve. The comparatively short term of House Members -- two years -- helps make it possible for many citizens to "rotate" through the House to represent their fellow citizens. This is what I believe our founding fathers intended -- not having entrenched Members spend decades in office as career politicians who can't be dislodged because they have built up large financial war chests and political favors.
I believe it's very beneficial for representatives to have at least a basic understanding of how our government works and the underlying theories upon which our democratic republic is based. As an ardent student of political history, someone who interned at NASA Headquarters, and a businessperson who has negotiated and executed government contracts for more than 40 years, I certainly have this kind of experience. However, I don't believe someone needs to be a "career politician" to serve effectively; in fact I believe this is actually a detriment -- which is why I am in favor of considering term limits, and why I believe I can be very effective as a first-term Member of Congress.
The number of challenges the United States faces over the next decade are almost too numerous to list and certainly too numerous to single out just one. On the domestic front, political polarization is growing, and a large percentage of our population has lost its faith in popular elections and believes violence is a legitimate recourse to achieve political goals. We have a 34 trillion dollar federal debt and we can't afford to let it grow over the next ten years as much as it has over the past decade. We have accumulated millions of tons of hazardous nuclear waste and haven't yet agreed on a long-term storage solution. Young people are becoming increasingly disillusioned and apathetic, and too many are turning to opioids and other dangerous drugs to deal with their feelings of alienation. We have the highest incarceration rate in the world, with hundreds of thousands of citizens wasting away in prison under dehumanizing conditions. On the international front, authoritarian rulers are threatening neighboring countries and raising the prospect of major armed conflicts, and there is the ever-present risk of a rogue state or terrorist organization getting ahold of nuclear weapons and causing mass destruction. Climate change is threatening to destroy or at least disrupt countless lives. To address all these challenges, we need visionary leaders who have the expertise and intellect to harness advanced technologies to make the most of our natural resources so we can improve standards of living both in the U.S. and abroad, and eventually address the disparities of wealth that are creating domestic and global instability.
I believe the two-year term is appropriate from the standpoint of allowing Members of the House to rotate. However, the intent of the two-year term is lost when Members cling to power for decades, and the two-year term puts House Members in a situation where they are always raising money for their next campaign. As an alternative, I believe we should consider a slightly longer term for House Members - say four years -- coupled with a limit of 2-3 terms in office.
I believe term limits should be considered very seriously. I don't believe the founding fathers envisioned citizens making careers out of representing our society in Congress. I also believe that, particularly in recent times, the thirst to hold on to power has become the greatest motivator of how Members of Congress behave. Perhaps if Members of Congress knew their time in office was limited, they would spend more time doing the people's work than feathering their own nests. Term limits would also assure that more citizens get the opportunity to represent their fellow citizens in Congress, which I believe is a principle the founding fathers embraced. George Washington was immensely popular and could have easily remained in power long beyond his two terms in office. Out of respect for his decision to step down, no other President ran for more than two terms for nearly 150 years. If eight years in office was enough for George Washington, something along those lines should be enough for Members of Congress.
I admire any representative who puts the interests of the country above their own political interests. For this reason, the two House Members I admire the most right now are not even Members of my own Democratic Party - they are Republican representatives Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, who sacrificed their political careers standing up to the demagoguery of Donald Trump and his cowardly acolytes in Congress.
The most impactful story I've heard from my constituents is how alienated their children feel about our country and how disillusioned they are with our leadership. I've also been affected by stories about how many of our youth don't feel society cares about them and don't see any career path that can give them the income they need to achieve the same standards of living their parents enjoy. This is one of the reasons I favor increased federal funding for vocational training, so young people who are not drawn to college have alternative pathways to learn marketable skills and earn a respectable standard of living, while also developing a strong sense of self-worth.
I can't because it's too dirty.
Compromise is absolutely essential and is one of the main themes of my campaign. I believe the effectiveness of Congress is being hindered by extremists in both major parties who are unwilling to compromise. I am therefore running as a "centrist" Democrat who will seek collaboration with like-minded Democrats and Republicans to seek non-partisan solutions to our most pressing problems.
One of my highest priorities if elected to the House would be to raise enough revenue to cover government outlays, so our children and grandchildren aren't saddled with crippling debt. I would be a strong advocate of returning the House to "regular order," so all Members of both parties have a say in how the government's finances should be managed.
The House should not use its investigative powers to settle political grievances, and should reserve its investigative powers for extreme situations where national security or the prosperity of our nation is put at risk.
I am not a career politician and only decided to run for office within the last few months, so I do not yet have endorsements from any formal organizations. However, my campaign has been endorsed by many friends and colleagues whose opinions I respect very highly, who have told me they feel I would do a great job if elected to Congress.
My professional career gives me unique qualifications to serve on the Energy and Commerce Committee, which would be my first choice. Other committee assignments that would interest me and on which I believe I could serve effectively include Appropriations; Armed Services; Science, Space, and Technology; Small Business; Transportation and Infrastructure; and Ways and Means.
I believe government needs to be more like the private sector when it comes to transparency and accountability. In private industry, you can't just spend money on a whim or you go out of business. You have to bring in enough money to cover expenses or you will end up in bankruptcy court. If you don't provide complete and accurate accounting of your finances to the IRS and your shareholders, you can even go to jail. These private sector mechanisms assure at least some level of transparency and accountability. Unfortunately, too many of our elected officials believe they can reach deals behind closed doors and spend money any way they want, and if they need more money to pay for what they want, they just raise taxes or take on more debt. In fact, the reward system in government is actually perverted in a way that encourages excess spending, as bureaucrats are often rewarded for managing larger organizations, which means spending more money, and are penalized if they save money because if they don't spend as much money as they have budgeted in a given fiscal year, they risk having their budget reduced the following year. Too many members of Congress believe that the federal budget is a piggybank they can use to buy votes and perpetuate their personal power. Accountability has been reduced in recent years because Congress has departed from "regular order," a disciplined process where committees with equal members of each party debate spending priorities and reach a consensus on budget allocations. Today, the most powerful Members of Congress meet in private sessions and work out budget deals. Then, Members of Congress who are left out of the process threaten to shut the government down. These are some of the reasons the government bureaucracy is bloated and inherently inefficient. To address these problems, I believe we should seriously consider proposals to withhold Congressional pay if sensible budgets aren't passed in a timely manner.

Campaign website

Simon’s campaign website stated the following:

“

IMMIGRATION REFORM
Mike shares the concerns of many District 48 voters about illegal immigration. Mike supports a balanced approach of stronger border controls, faster resolution of asylum cases, amnesty for “Dreamers,” and streamlining of pathways to residency and citizenship for legal immigrants, especially those possessing critical skills for our economy. The White House and key senators recently agreed on the contours of such a deal, but the agreement is being fought by Donald Trump and his loyalists like Darrell Issa, who want to extend the current chaos at the border so they can use it as an election issue.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Mike believes in expanding federal student financial aid programs to make it easier to obtain vocational training. This will provide new career pathways for citizens who desire high-paying jobs and will address the nation’s shortage of electricians, plumbers, fabricators, and other skilled workers. Under Mike’s plan, students who receive such financial aid will be able to repay their debt by joining the federal Job Corps and using their new skills to help rebuild America’s crumbling highways, bridges, and other infrastructure.

PRE-K AND K-12 EDUCATION
For younger students, Mike supports sensible educational reforms such as providing greater support for pre-school education, expanding school choice, and making teachers and schools more accountable for student performance. Mike is a strong proponent of STEM education, but believes it’s equally important for primary and secondary school students to learn history, civics, and economics. Mike believes that the proper functioning of our democratic society depends on having an educated and informed electorate.

MANAGING OUR ENERGY TRANSITION
Mike will utilize his decades of experience as an energy expert and entrepreneur to make sure the nation makes smart investments in our energy future. This means continuing to support fossil fuel utilization to control energy costs and preserve our energy independence, while also having a longer-term plan to replace fossil fuels with cleaner, renewable forms of energy. Mike’s experience in this area will help maximize District 48 benefits from the extraction of lithium – a key material used in manufacturing batteries – near the Salton Sea, which is projected to generate $7 billion/year in revenue.

PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT
Nobody in Congress has worked longer or harder than Mike to help protect our environment. Mike has been developing clean battery and fuel cell technologies to reduce emissions from buses and trucks for 30 years, and has also worked to develop numerous renewable energy sources and safer nuclear power technologies. Mike’s balanced energy approach will assure that we continue improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while also pursuing new initiatives to clean polluted waterways and dispose of radioactive nuclear waste.

STRENGHTENING SOCIAL SECURITY
Future retirees are at risk of losing Social Security benefits because Congress has failed to address projected shortfalls in the funding this vital program. Mike’s plan will preserve the current $168,600 cap on wages subject to Social Security payroll taxes, but only on incomes up to $400,000 per year. Higher wage-earners would be required to pay a progressive payroll tax on incomes over this amount. Getting higher wage earners to pay payroll tax rates comparable to those of lower wage earners will enhance program revenues and help assure that Social Security remains solvent for years to come.

REDUCING BUDGET DEFICITS
If we don’t reduce the federal debt – which recently surpassed $34 trillion – future generations will face an enormous tax burden to pay for government services received by their parents and grandparents. Mike has the financial and business experience to fix this unfair situation and “balance the books,” by reducing wasteful federal spending and increasing revenue by eliminating tax loopholes that allow our wealthiest individuals and corporations to pay lower effective tax rates than many working-class Americans. By simplifying the tax code and making the government more efficient and accountable, essential national security and social "safety net" programs can be preserved without continuing deficit spending.

PROTECTING DEMOCRACY AT HOME
Darrell Issa is among those Members of Congress who have “fully denied” the results of the 2020 Presidential election, purely for political gain and without any evidence of widespread election fraud. Mike believes that Issa and these others have weakened our democracy by failing to honor a fundamental obligation to make our voters feel confident in our democratic elections. The Capitol riots on January 6, 2021 were a sneak preview of even greater chaos and violence that Mike fears will occur, if Members of Congress don’t have the courage to stand up to demagogues and conspiracy theorists making unfounded claims about “stolen” elections.

PROTECTING DEMOCRACY ABROAD
America cannot be the world's policeman, but history has shown we can't afford to be isolationist either. Wealthy democratic nations, led by the U.S., must use their economic might to help weaker democratic nations defend themselves when they are invaded or threatened by autocratic and expansionist regimes. In addition to having a firm grasp of world history, Mike has traveled to Ukraine and Russia several times, and has seen first-hand how America inspires the people in such nations, when we use our influence and resources to help them defend their democratic institutions and fight authoritarianism on all fronts.

DEFENDING CIVIL LIBERTIES
Mike Simon will be a champion of defending the civil liberties of all Americans. Mike believes that the federal government must help protect citizens against discrimination based on race, religion, or sexual orientation, and favors national legislation to protect women's reproductive rights. Mike believes America's incarceration rate is too high and that the government should provide alternatives to prison for most non-violent offenders. Mike favors a balanced approach to keeping powerful firearms out of the hands of criminals and mentally disturbed individuals, without infringing on the Constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms.[3]
