As a candidate for Maryland's House of Delegates, District 33, Falcon was endorsed by the area newspaper, The Capital.[8]
Following the 2014 race, Falcon was appointed by Governor Larry Hogan to chair the Anne Arundel County School Board Nominating Commission (SBNC).[9] Falcon and several other Hogan appointees sued the State of Maryland and won a preliminary injunction over subsequent legislation removing them from office.[10][11][12] Governor Hogan had vetoed the legislation but the General Assembly overrode the veto.[13][14] The state appealed the court decision supporting Falcon and the state won on appeal.[15][16][17] The teachers union of the county filed suit against Falcon and Governor Hogan but their request was denied.[18] An elected school board for Anne Arundel County had been a long-term goal of the Republicans.[19] Falcon's role with the SBNC induced the legislation that delivered an elected school board to Anne Arundel County.[20]
