WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Burgess Owens (UT-04) co-signed a letter to Chairman Durbin and Ranking Member Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee requesting a full investigation into Biden Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s alarming judicial philosophy towards child sex offenders.

“There is no greater responsibility than protecting America’s children,” said Rep. Owens. “I’m deeply concerned with Ketanji Brown Jackson’s soft record on sickening crimes against our children. Child pornographers and sexual predators need to be locked up, not gifted leniency.”

The full letter is available here.
