Rep. Burgess Owens, a U.S. Congressman representing Utah's 4th district since 2021, shared several statements on social media addressing significant political and social issues. His tweets reflect his stance on sports fairness, legislative priorities, and community engagement.

On March 11, 2025, Rep. Owens emphasized the importance of maintaining fairness in women's sports in relation to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He stated: "The IOC has a choice: Stand for fairness or let politics destroy women’s sports."
