Letter: Burgess Owens' stated goals do not reflect the priorities of his constituency.

By Tom Huckin | The Public Forum“It’s no secret: the Utah Legislature and the U.S. Congress frequently don’t reflect the wishes of their constituents.” Thus begins an. It notes that according to polling mainly by the nonpartisan Hinckley Institute of Politics, these are the biggest issues agreed upon by a large majority of Utah residents: Gun law reform ; equal sentencing laws ; full-day kindergarten ; free bus service in SLC ; Equal Rights Amendment ; and sex ed beyond abstinence .

In contrast, an email I received today from one of our four congressional representatives listed these as “top issues that Congress should focus on”: “Securing our elections”; “Securing the southern border”; “Ending inflation and runaway spending”; “Protecting 2A rights”; “Ending human trafficking”; and “Protecting religious freedom.” He provides no source or percentages for any of these issues.

Of course, one can expect a certain disconnect between state and national issues. Still, the degree of disconnect here is striking. One list is nonpartisan, the other just the opposite. At a time of almost open warfare between the two parties in Congress, I can’t help but think we need some Andy Larsens there!

He is just another disgusting lowlife republican and could care less about America or it’s people, just like the lowlife mike Lee of Utah😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Utah is not his constituency.

He has a to-do list? Haven’t seen him doing anything useful yet

“polling mainly by the nonpartisan Hinckley Institute of Politics” Obviously Hinckley is a very one sided poll. No one in Utah wants gun reform or cares about free bud rides for ghetto ass people. This is a disgrace and this nonsense happens when we let illegals in our country!

All I hear is the same old MAGA Right Wing bullcrap...

“Protecting 2A rights”... we just GOTTA have the best armed mass murderers in the World... “Ending human trafficking”... only Corporations are allowed to keep slaves... and “Protecting religious freedom' when religion is what we need to be protected FROM...

“Securing our elections”... making sure only Eagle Forum approved candidates can win. “Securing the southern border”... make America White again... “Ending inflation and runaway spending”... money is for rich people ONLY...

Like all carpetbagging grifters, burgers only cares about himself and how much $ he gets from photo ops. Slip him a fiver and he’ll give a thumbs up in the pic. $10 and he’ll flash the ring!

Hmmm.

Thank goodness!! Glad he’s not relying on polls for his priorities. That sounds like a dangerous way to “represent” constituents! Let me guess the ministry of truth, fact checkers and pollsters know what his constituents want better than his constituents?

Election-denial against a black man. Yuck.

TFW you think you're in the majority of the constituents.......
