Biography and early career[edit]

Owen and his wife Emily are the parents of four children.

In 2010, Owen ran against the incumbent Senate Majority Leader, Democrat John Morse. After being outspent by 5 to 1, he lost by only 340 votes. As a first time candidate, he earned the second highest vote count in the district for all Republicans on the ballot. This June, he was honored to win his primary election for State Senate District 10 by a substantial margin. Hill faced Brandon Hughes in the general election, but won the election with 73.5% of the vote.

After studying Economics at the Air Force Academy, Owen had the opportunity to complete his Ph.D. in Policy Analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School in association with the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, CA. Following his military service, Owen had several different roles working in international finance operations, serving as a Chief Financial Officer for a non-profit, and running his own financial consulting company. He has had the opportunity to truly immerse himself within finance as it applies to budgeting, having managed a large budget for Compassion International, a children’s non-profit. A small businessman, veteran, and financial and budget specialist, Owen and his family live in Colorado Springs with their four children.
