In 2010 Simon decided to use his political good will on a long shot bid for a seat on the Pima County Board of Supervisors. He entered the Democratic primary as an unknown who had only lived in the county for seven years. However he was able to score an important endorsement from Congressman Grijalva. This, coupled with a strong grassroots base on the west side of Tucson allowed him to finish second in the primary and advance to the runoff. In the runoff he narrowly defeated a former State Senator with 52% of the vote. He won the general election easily over a Republican who called for the border patrol to “shoot to kill”. | In 2010 Simon decided to use his political good will on a long shot bid for a seat on the Pima County Board of Supervisors.
