Burgess Owens U.S. House of Representatives from Utah's 4th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Burgess Owens, a U.S. Congressman representing Utah's 4th district since 2021, recently shared several statements on social media concerning his activities and political stances. His tenure and experiences provide context to his commentary, extending from family involvement in politics to pressing national issues.
On April 1, 2025, Congressmember Owens expressed satisfaction via social media, noting, "Great to have 8 of the Owens clan in DC this week—and sitting in on today’s @EdWorkforceCmte hearing!" This sentiment reflects his blend of family life with his congressional duties.
In a post on the following day, April 2, 2025, Owens highlighted bipartite efforts to honor Frederick Douglass. He stated, "Frederick Douglass fought for freedom, taught himself to read, and used his voice to change a nation—from these very halls. Proud to lead the bipartisan push to rename the House Press Gallery after him with @RepDonaldsPress, @RepAndreCarson, @RepHorsford, @RepWPH & @RepJames." This showcases Owen’s engagement with historical recognition within government institutions.
On the same day, Owens voiced criticism of the opposition in another social media update. He stated, "WATCH: House Democrats use an open discussion on education reform with @EdSecMcmahon to smear parents who want more involvement in their child’s education and spread lies about the 'erasing of Black history' that is 100% NOT HAPPENING. What a disgusting political stunt." This demonstrates his active involvement in educational policy discussions and his discontent with certain tactics employed in political discourse.
