Burgess Owens, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Utah's 4th District, recently shared several statements on social media highlighting his views on education and foreign policy discussions. Rep. Owens, who has served in Congress since 2021 after replacing Ben McAdams, utilized Twitter to convey his perspectives.

In a tweet dated April 3, 2025, Owens expressed his support for a bill aimed at providing opportunities for children, focusing on choice, success, and potential. He stated, "This bill would offer them a lifeline. It’s not about charity—it’s about choice, success, and believing in every child’s potential. Let’s make stories like Tanya’s possible."

Further, on the same day, he discussed the broader context of educational challenges faced by American families. In the tweet, he mentioned, "Tanya’s story is hypothetical—but it reflects the reality for millions of American parents: doing their best, but locked out of opportunity by ZIP code or income."

Later, on April 3, 2025, Owens acknowledged a meeting with student leaders from Africa, emphasizing discussions on foreign policy and leadership. He remarked, "Thank you to @FrankLuntz and this incredible group of student leaders from countries across Africa for dropping by my office this week. We talked foreign policy, Africa’s global role, and what it really takes to lead with integrity. These young people are the real deal!"
