Burgess Owens, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Utah's 4th district since 2021, has shared his thoughts on several pressing issues through social media. His recent tweets touch on topics ranging from historical lessons to educational reform and disaster management.

On January 27, 2025, Owens emphasized the importance of learning from history in addressing current global challenges. He stated, "The horrors of the Holocaust teach us the cost of silence. As antisemitism rises worldwide, let us have the moral clarity to not just condemn it, but take action to root it out of our institutions." He concluded with a call to action: "The lessons of history demand action. 'Never Again' starts with us."

Later that day, Owens addressed educational disparities in America. In his tweet posted at 17:36 UTC, he expressed that "Every child deserves access to quality education that fits their needs—not one dictated by their zip code." He advocated for significant changes in the education system and urged followers to stay informed about upcoming developments.

Finally, at 18:36 UTC on the same day, Owens commented on leadership during crises and natural disasters. Referring to President Trump's leadership during such times, he tweeted that "President Trump has shown again and again that leadership matters when disaster strikes." He suggested practical measures for wildfire aid in Los Angeles, emphasizing proper management of resources.
