A former NFL safety took a big step Tuesday night toward a whole new career.
Burgess Owens, who played from 1973-1982 for the New York Jets and the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders, won Utah’s Republican primary for a U.S. House seat, according to The Associated Press.
Owens, 68, who played college football at the University of Miami, was leading in the 4th Congressional District race by nearly 20 percent over the next candidate, FOX 13 of Salt Lake City reported.

Owens will be one more of the needed 18 congress critters needed to switch the house.
From the number of new conservatives that are winning the primaries, this November should be the beginning of sanity returning to the US congress.
If we hold the senate and retake the house, obviously keep the WH, we can concentrate on opening the country and the economy and forget about impeachment.
In the mean time, maybe Bull Durham will bring in some indictments on some bad guys {hopefully}.

He is indeed. This should be a pickup in November over the DemocRAT who squeaked out a victory in 2018 over the VERY disappointing Mia Love.

If it’s 51-49 for us I’d expect the Quisling in Utah to switch parties

Mia Love had potential- then she blew it by siding with the eGOP once in office.

At the very least he would declare as an Independent, but would caucus with the Rats.
