‘Anti-Colin Kaepernick’ Burgess Owens Wins Utah Fourth District GOP Primary
2020-07-03
[BREITBART] Former Oakland Raiders Super Bowl champion safety Burgess Owens won the Utah Fourth Congressional GOP primary on Tuesday night and will now face off against Rep. Ben McAdams (D-UT).Owens decisively won the Fourth Congressional District’s primary by roughly 20 points. Owens’ victory means he will now face off against freshman swing district Democrat McAdams in the general election.

McAdams unseated former Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) during the 2018 midterm elections. The Cook Political Report rates the race as a "lean Democrat," but Owens’ potential victory over McAdams could help the GOP retake the House majority.

Republicans need to gain a net 17 seats during the 2020 elections to regain the House majority. Utah’s Fourth Congressional District was one of the 30 congressional districts that President Donald Trump

won during the 2016 presidential election but that House Democrats managed to flip during the 2018 midterm elections.

Breitbart News’s Matthew Boyle profiled Owens, noting that he has pushed a cultural renaissance in the country to better advocate for God, country, and families in Congress.

#1  Mia Love. Haven't even thought about that name for a while. Another "future of the Republican Party" flop.
