Serving Across the District with Riley Owen

Team Riley has been joined by dozens of volunteers throughout the district serving local communities every week and learning about the difficulties facing everyday Utahns. Riley has always valued public service, and he knows that doesn't mean just running for office. It's important that leaders continue to connect with their communities to understand the challenges facing them and see firsthand the needs of their local areas.

While clearing out invasive species at the Great Salt Lake, we learned of the high amounts of water that are being wasted by non-native plant life that in turn are destroying the lake's ecosystem. As Riley advocates for more funding to save the Great Salt Lake, one of the top priorities is to clear out harmful species that are depleting our lake.

In Kearns, while cleaning up trash with community members, Riley heard from local families and residents about the problems they are facing. Transparency and integrity are key aspects of Riley's platform, ensuring that politicians focus on their communities, not their careers. 

We want to hear from you and the issues facing your community. If you know of any upcoming service projects in your local area that Team Riley can join or have ideas for projects we can plan ourselves, message us at [email protected].
