Early life and family

Owlett grew up on a dairy farm in Tioga County and is a graduate of New Covenant Academy. After graduating high school, Owlett completed an internship at Three Springs Ministries.[3] There, he advanced to the position of director of program development and then general manager, before leaving to work at a ski resort. In 2012, he established his own construction and decorating company.[3]

He is married to Lauren Owlett. The couple has four children.[3]

Political views

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Owlett introduced legislation that would allow religious institutions to gather in person.[4] He voted twice to lift the governor's emergency order, once on May 28, 2020, and again on June 9, 2020.[5]

Owlett has tightened restrictions on illegal drugs, introducing a bill to permanently place carfentanil on the list of Schedule II drugs.[6] Furthermore, he has begun inviting legislators to co-sponsor legislation that would make drug delivery that results in serious injury a felony.[7]

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.[8]

Owlett supports two bills currently in the Pennsylvania Legislature that would restrict abortion.[9] One of the bills, a heartbeat bill, would bar women from undergoing an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected. The second bill – the Down Syndrome Protection Act – would prohibit abortions based on a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis.

Owlett currently sits on the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Appropriations, Subcommittee on Health and Welfare, Committee On Ethics, Health, and State Government committees.[10]
