WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Burgess Owens (UT-04) released the following statement on President Biden’s State of the Union address. 

“Tonight, we saw Joe Biden take a victory lap for his administration’s ‘historic accomplishments,’ but Americans know the truth: This president is responsible for the highest inflation in four decades, unaffordable and unreliable energy, weakened national security, surging violent crime, and the worst border crisis our country has ever seen. 

“Instead of leading the nation through a string of self-inflicted crises, President Biden has once again put a radical agenda above the safety, security, and prosperity of Utahns in the Fourth District and Americans across the nation.

“House Republicans will continue fighting to deliver an economy that is strong, a nation that is safe, a government that is accountable, and a future that is built on freedom.”
