Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’d like Utah to be seen as the thoughtful, ethical, and caring people they are. I would bring thoughtful, compassionate, and fair leadership that focuses on the needs of American families. I’d like to end partisanship and get the government working again. We need to ensure that ALL people's rights are protected and that each American can live a life consistent with their personal values and beliefs.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Each adult in America should have complete autonomy over their bodies and be able to make the choices for themselves that they feel are best. Healthcare decisions should be between an individual and their doctor. Parents should be free to make the best decisions for their children without interference from the government. I am pro-choice and will fight for reproductive and trans rights.
• Drought, poor air quality, and forest fires are only a few of the environmental crises impacting Utah. It is our duty to safeguard Utah's environmental resources for future generations, while also recognizing the symbiotic relationship between environmental preservation and a thriving economy.
• The US economy boasts impressive growth and record-low unemployment rates, but we can't overlook the glaring issues of income inequality and unaffordable housing. For forty years, wealth has concentrated in the hands of a few, while too many struggle to make ends meet and provide for their families. It's time to prioritize policies that create better-paying jobs and make housing more affordable for all. We need to build an economy that lifts everyone up, not just those at the top.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Divisive politics and culture wars are harming our country. I will reject extremism, champion freedom and bring civility, unity, and representation to Washington. I will foster dialogue and collaboration to advance freedom, autonomy, and equality, forging a brighter, more inclusive future for all.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

When considering the most important characteristics for an elected official, a few key principles stand out. First and foremost is **listening**—truly hearing and understanding the diverse needs and perspectives of constituents is essential for effective representation. This means more than just acknowledging voices; it involves actively engaging with the community to ensure their concerns are genuinely reflected in decision-making.

Another critical trait is **curiosity**. An elected official must be driven to continually learn and explore new information, perspectives, and ideas. This curiosity helps them navigate the complexities of governance and fosters innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the community.

Equally important is a strong **desire for collaboration**. No single person has all the answers, and the best outcomes are often achieved through collective effort. A successful leader works across the aisle and engages with various stakeholders—experts, community leaders, and citizens—to build consensus and craft policies that benefit everyone.

Finally, a **willingness to be wrong** is crucial. An elected official who can admit mistakes, learn from them, and adjust their approach shows integrity and a true commitment to serving the public. This humility ensures that decisions are made based on the best available information and in the community's best interest.

Together, these principles—listening, curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to be wrong—form the foundation of effective leadership, ensuring that an elected official can serve with honesty, adaptability, and dedication.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

The qualities I possess that I believe would make me a successful officeholder include a strong commitment to **listening**, **curiosity**, **collaboration**, **empathy**, and **understanding**. I prioritize truly hearing and valuing the diverse perspectives of my constituents, which allows me to represent them effectively. My curiosity drives me to continuously seek out new information and explore different viewpoints, which is crucial for innovative problem-solving. I have a deep desire for collaboration, understanding that the best solutions often come from working together with others. Additionally, I bring empathy and understanding to my role, ensuring that decisions are made with the well-being of all community members in mind. Finally, I have a willingness to be wrong, recognizing that humility and the ability to learn from mistakes are essential for growth and effective leadership. These qualities, combined, enable me to serve with integrity, adaptability, and dedication.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Since leaving home at the age of 15, I’ve taken on a variety of jobs, each contributing to who I am today. I’ve worked as a painter, horse trainer, mucked stalls, harvested fruit, served as a housekeeper and nanny, and even worked in electronics manufacturing on a production line. No matter the task, I always gave it my all. Every job taught me valuable lessons and skills that have shaped my journey and prepared me for the challenges I face today.

Tell us your favorite joke.

A horse walked into a bar. The Bartender said "Why the long face?"

Campaign website

Fallick-Wang’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Freedom & Autonomy Each adult in America should have complete autonomy over their bodies and be able to make the choices for themselves that they feel are best. Healthcare decisions should be between an individual and their doctor. Parents should be free to make the best decisions for their children without interference from the government. I am pro-choice and will fight for reproductive and trans rights. Jobs and Housing The US economy boasts impressive growth and record-low unemployment rates, but we can't overlook the glaring issues of income inequality and unaffordable housing. For forty years, wealth has concentrated in the hands of a few, while too many struggle to make ends meet and provide for their families. It's time to prioritize policies that create better-paying jobs and make housing more affordable for all. We need to build an economy that lifts everyone up, not just those at the top. Education To unlock America's full potential, we must prioritize education. Elementary and high school performance has been declining, exacerbated by the pandemic. It's crucial to invest in improving education by supporting teachers, enhancing early childhood education, and making college affordable. This way, we equip the next generation with the tools they need to succeed and propel our nation forward. The Environment Drought, poor air quality, and forest fires are only a few of the environmental crisies impacting Utah. It is our duty to safeguard Utah's environmental resources for future generations, while also recognizing the symbiotic relationship between environmental preservation and a thriving economy. Politics Devisive politics and culture wars are harming our country. I will reject extremism, champion freedom and bring civility, unity, and representation to Washington. I will foster dialogue and collaboration to advance freedom, autonomy, and equality, forging a brighter, more inclusive future for all. Healthcare Achieving the American Dream hinges on both physical and mental well-being, yet our healthcare system falls short in providing adequate mental health support. Despite America's wealth, our healthcare system primarily benefits drug company investors. It's imperative to do better. No one should die due to inability to afford healthcare or go without essential medication.	”
