Legendary NFL Legend Burgess Owens Announces Congressional Run

Legendary NFL player Burgess Owens has annoucned his canidacy for a congressional seat in Utah. As The Daily Wire reports:

On Thursday, NFL legend Burgess Owens announced that he will be running to represent Utah’s 4th Congressional District as a Republican in 2020.

Owens, whose work outside the NFL has been focused on youth advocacy, made a splash in May when he penned an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal in which he spoke out against reparations for African Americans, a topic that has recently been given a national spotlight.

In June, Owens appeared before Congress, along with several other African Americans, including Quillette’s Coleman Hughes, and once again explained his position against reparations.

Utah’s 4th Congressional District is currently represented by Democrat Ben McAdams, who beat Republican incumbent Mia Love in 2018 by just 694 votes (50.1% to 49.9%).

The Democrat party likely isn’t ready for an African American patriot like Owens who’s ready to challenge their far left agenda and back a popular President like Donald Trump.
