Political views

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Owlett introduced legislation that would allow religious institutions to gather in person.[5] He voted twice to lift the governor's emergency order, once on May 28, 2020 and again on June 9, 2020.[6]

Owlett has tightened restrictions on illegal drugs, introducing a bill to permanently place carfentanil on the list of Schedule II drugs.[7] Furthermore, he has begun inviting legislators to co-sponsor legislation that would make drug delivery that results in serious injury a felony.[8]

Owlett supports the deregulation of small farms and the promotion of dairy products. He supports efforts to prohibit plant-based milk from using the term "milk" and advocates for schools to provide larger quantities of milk with school lunches.[9]
