"I’ve been an underdog my whole life with skeptics questioning my strength and bravery when it comes to scaling the world's tallest mountains. Yet, I've summited Everest and Cho Oyu. I’ve broken records and defied limits. Now I’ll shake things up in the Senate. Utah is ready for a new generation of leaders and I’m here to take on that challenge—to represent the people of the state with truth, optimism, and decency."

Nathaniel Woodward - 2nd Congressional District
Woodward, an attorney from Carbon County, is running for Utah's 2nd Congressional District. After winning the support of Democrats in a special election, in an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune, Woodward said it’s not enough to get the Democrat or “disillusioned Republican” vote, but he wants to appeal and win the trust of voters from all spectrums of politics.
Woodward said he’s planning on taking a community-based approach to his campaign, not taking “a nickel from special interest groups or political action committees.” Instead, he will raise money from small donations from individual donors, small businesses, unions and “places that advocate for people, never places that advocate for corporations.” He says, he will advocate and bring forward solutions to actual problems facing us.
Glenn Wright - 3rd Congressional District
Glenn is an aerospace engineering graduate, Vietnam combat veteran, and pilot, he also served as a Summit County Councilman and worked on the Utah Association of Counties Board. He says he was fortunate enough to have been raised during a time when our society allowed an average working person to comfortably buy a house, feed a family of four, purchase a car, and still have money to save. Glenn is also an adoptive parent with multiracial and LGBTQ+-identifying family members and has witnessed how Utahns can benefit from their representative working from diverse political backgrounds and opinions.
"Like you, I am frustrated by and have had enough of politicians toeing party lines for the sake of the party instead of the well-being of all Americans and Utahns. Utahns are shouldering unprecedented hardships with a glorious opportunity to pave the path forward."

Katrina Fallick-Wang - 4th Congressional District
Also known as Katey, she is running to represent Utah's 4th Congressional District. Katrina is a working-class American and not a career politician balancing a full-time job while running for office. She believes government should work for everyone, not just the wealthy and powerful and says the primary responsibility of a congressional representative is to represent the interests of their constituents.
"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."

Rebekah Cummings - Lt. Governor
Growing up amidst diverse and politically divided surroundings, Rebekah learned early the importance of bridging divides. In her blue-collar, conservative upbringing in a liberal city, she found solace in books and libraries. Now, as a mom of three, Rebekah is the Director of Digital Matters at the University of Utah, Chair of the Utah State Library Board, and founding member of the Let Utah Read Coalition. Balancing family, education, work, and service, she’s championed intellectual freedom and community engagement. With a vision for pragmatic governance and a dedication to empowering families, Rebekah is ready to lead Utah toward a future where every voice is heard and every individual thrives -for the better.
She is a vocal advocate against banning books and opposed this year’s HB29, which allows a book to be banned across Utah if three school districts vote to ban it. "I care about preserving our Great Salt Lake, making sure we’re getting water there, making sure our air is clean, making sure that publicly funded schools are adequately funded,” she said. “I think we also care a great deal about individual freedoms and making sure that Utahns get to make their own choices about things like reproductive health and banning books.”
