Rep. Burgess Owens, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Utah’s 4th district, recently announced a series of legislative initiatives and funding achievements through his official social media account.
On December 5, 2025, Owens shared an update on water infrastructure support for his constituents: “For over a year, I’ve been working to secure critical support for our water infrastructure and rural communities and I’m proud to share that we delivered BIG wins for Utah’s Fourth District:
$7.5 million for the Grassroots Source Water Protection Program to help small”.
Later the same day, he expressed his endorsement of new legislation aimed at supporting victims of violent crime. In a post dated December 5, 2025, Owens stated: “Proud to support @RepAnnWagner’s Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act to protect the Crime Victims Fund, which serves nearly 4 million victims of violent crime each year. This is a commonsense, no-cost solution to ensure critical support continues for families in all 50 states.”
That evening, Rep. Owens highlighted his commitment to healthcare price transparency by co-sponsoring new legislation. On December 5, 2025 he posted: “Americans deserve to know the real price of their health care BEFORE they get the bill. I co-sponsored @RepJames’ Patients Deserve Price Tags Act to require hospitals, insurers, and PBMs to provide clear, upfront pricing so patients can make informed decisions and avoid surprise”.
