These Democrats are running for Utah's 1st Congressional District

How it works: Axios Salt Lake City asked the candidates — state Sen. Nate Blouin, tax attorney Michael Farrell, former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams and political newcomer Liban Mohamed — to complete a survey ahead of the June 23 primary.

What's inside: Among the insights we gleaned:

• Blouin said we "deserve a representative who knows the difference between finding common ground and surrendering it."
• Farrell told us "everything is too damn expensive" and that he'd bring down the cost of housing, health care, groceries and education by "taxing the ultra-wealthy so they finally pay their fair share."
• McAdams criticized congressional Democrats for "acting like this is politics as usual" and promised to stand up to President Trump.
• Mohamed said national Democrats have failed "in not daring to be bolder," and he promised an "unorthodox" leadership style.

1 for the road: In addition to policy queries, we asked candidates to tell us their favorite part of living in Utah, in five words or less.

• Blouin: Public lands and good people.
• Farrell: Nature, Trax, and the Jazz.
• McAdams: Vibrant, creative people, wild places.
• Mohamed: Its great and diverse landscapes.
