; he described his fiscal positions as being closer to that of the Republican platform and his social positions as closer to those of the Democratic platform.[28] He supports lower taxes and cutting the budget. He is pro-choice on the issue of abortion. He supports same-sex marriage. On his Senate campaign site he supports the DREAM Act and a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and some gun control measures.[29] He also supports tighter border security and nationalizing the E-Verify program, which is believed to cut down on illegal immigration.[29]

Simon supports open primaries, which would allow independent voters to participate in Maryland’s primary elections, a system believed to result in more moderate representatives.[30]'
