Burgess Owens U.S. House of Representatives from Utah's 4th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Rep. Burgess Owens, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Utah’s 4th district, has actively engaged with his followers on social media, presenting his stance on education, school choice, and gender-specific policies in sports. His tweets address the integration of AI in education, funding for school choice, and legislative measures to safeguard gender-specific spaces.
On April 1, 2025, Owens shared his views on artificial intelligence in education, stating that "AI shouldn’t replace teachers or critical thinking in the classroom—it should strengthen both." He emphasized the importance of keeping innovation local and decision-making in the hands of parents and educators.
Later the same day, Owens highlighted the potential financial resources for school choice, advocating that "We can make an extra $10 billion available for school choice by passing the Educational Choice for Children Act—without taking a dime from the public system." This statement suggests a focus on enhancing educational flexibility and options without diminishing public education funds.
In another tweet posted on April 1, 2025, Owens declared his stance on gender exclusivity in sports, saying that "Men don't belong in women's sports or spaces—period." He also expressed his support for a legislative measure led by Rep. Mary Miller intended to protect women's rights in sports through codifying an executive order by former President Trump.
