Burgess Owens, a U.S. Congressman representing Utah's 4th district since 2021, recently shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Owens, who succeeded Ben McAdams in Congress, has been vocal about border security, economic concerns, and international conflicts.
On December 3, 2024, Owens criticized the current administration's handling of border security.

Chris Olivarez for efforts against human trafficking and hinted at upcoming changes with "Change is coming January 20th, 2025."
Later that day, Owens addressed economic issues by pointing out that "Nearly 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck."

In another tweet from December 3rd, Owens commented on international tensions by stating "The pro-Hamas crowd is more interested in violence than peace."
