RIP Mia Love
Members of Congress are mourning the passing of @MiaBLove, who was a trusted friend and colleague, an extraordinary person, and an exceptional leader. She will always be remembered for her warm smile and wit, and her historic contributions. God bless her family and her legacy.… — Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) March 24, 2025 May the good Lord hold this lovely, gracious lady and all those who loved her close in the palm of His hand. May her beautiful memory always be a blessing to them.
Mia Love: My Last Wish for the America I Know
Mia Love never had it easy. Yet in an age where cynicism about the United States and its founding had become the norm, she never lost sight of the great opportunities America had given her. In 2022, Love was diagnosed with brain cancer. Two weeks ago, she announced in a moving Deseret News essay that she would soon die, and used this final opportunity to write a love letter to America.
Mia Love, first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, dies at 49
(Reuters) - Mia Love, the first Black Republican Congresswoman, has died after a three-year battle with brain cancer, her family wrote on social media. She was 49. Love died on Sunday surrounded by her family. "With grateful hearts filled to overflowing for the profound influence of Mia on our lives, we want you to know that she passed away peacefully today," the family wrote. Love was born Ludmya Bourdeau to Haitian immigrants on Dec. 6, 1975 in New York City.

My living wish for the America I know
My dear friends, fellow Americans and Utahns. I am taking up my pen, not to say goodbye but to say thank you and express my living wish for you and the America I know. My battle with brain cancer is coming to an end. The disease is no longer responding to treatment and my family and I have shifted our focus from treatments, to enjoying every moment and making memories with the time we have.
Opinion: Mia Love's 'Qualified'
When I first met Mia Love, she was a city councilwoman, soon to be elected the mayor of Saratoga Springs. She was friendly, outgoing, poised, polished and - I'll be honest - intimidating (a word I've heard applied to myself many times). She was (and is) a runner, and for more than a decade she and one of my Ethiopian sons crossed paths running the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay. They were pretty much the only Black runners in the race. We've been friends ever since.
Is It Really Too Hard?
Monday, September 27th, 2021 Is It Really Too Hard? “The most difficult thing is the decision to act.” – Amelia Earhart Back in late August, Daniel Hood, Editor-in-Chief of Accounting Today asked the question, “Is it too hard to become a CPA?” He referred to the difficulty of the CPA Exam and the extra credit hours needed to sit for the Exam. You can read my opinion here. Many other people, most of them CPAs, sent their replies and opinions to Dan. Last week, he published many of them.
Here’s how Republican Utah can lead out on clean energy and bring real change
President Joe Biden began his term with a flurry of executive orders, many of which were designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While the intent of these orders may be positive, one of them is a blow to Utah and other Western states. To be specific, the administration’s decision to suspend new oil and gas leases on federal lands will do little to change the country’s energy mix while disproportionately impacting rural economies.
Allen highlights conservative black Americans for Black History Month
According to Allen’s official Facebook page, the move is a way of “honoring independent-thinking, conservative black leaders on social media.” Some of those already showcased include U.S. Reps. Burgess Owens, Byron Donalds, Mia Love, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, and Sen. Tim Scott as well as former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. “Let’s give honor to whom it is due,” Allen said.
Mia Love: I know USU’s President Cockett as a kind, inclusive leader
Watching my children grow up has given me the opportunity to know that we are not always the teachers. We can learn from the innocence and courage of a small child as they boldly do the right thing. I have heard of my children, seeing another student eating alone in the cafeteria and without hesitation, walk over and offer them company and a warm smile.
One month since George Floyd's death, I'm still being asked to pick a side in America's race war
Today marks one painful month since the murder of George Floyd. While in that time we've seen some promising bipartisan efforts to reform policing policies in the United States, unfortunately we've also seen the impact of the country's intense political polarisation. Instead of working toward mutual understanding and unified action, the extreme polarisation in American discourse results in the constant demonisation of "the other side".
Guest opinion: Both higher ed and K-12 educators deserve our gratitude
As the winter semester draws to a close in colleges throughout Utah, this parent of a college student wants to recognize the Herculean effort required of educators to transform to an online curriculum mid-semester. Both college and K-12 educators deserve our appreciation for their efforts to respond to an unforeseen environment that placed burdensome demands on a profession already shouldering heavy loads.
I was the Republican party's first black congresswoman. This is what I think of Donald Trump's tweets
By Mia Love Posted July 30, 2019 05:00:14 US President Donald Trump's attacks on Democrat Elijah Cummings over the weekend — deriding the black conngressman's district as "a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess" — represent another juvenile attempt to humiliate and belittle political adversaries with tweets featuring racist undertones.
Mia Love: Politicians, forget the optics and cut a deal
Mia Love is a CNN Political Commentator who just completed her second term representing Utah's 4th district. Before Congress she served as a mayor and city council member in Utah. Love made history as the first and only African-American Republican female member of Congress. The views expressed in the commentary are the author's own. View more opinion at CNN.
As I leave Congress, I have a message for fellow Republicans: Embrace diverse perspectives
This is far too common in American politics. We construct mental cages for people based on societal narratives, and we feel uncomfortable when they escape. When my friend Tim Scott, the only black Republican in the U.S. Senate, celebrated the passage of tax reform, an uninformed troll labeled him a “prop” — even though he was instrumental in crafting and passing the bill.
Opinion | Mia Love: Republicans have failed to bring our message to minorities. It’s hurting the nation.
Members of Congress watch as President Trump delivers his State of the Union speech on Jan. 30. (Jonathan Newton/The Washington Post) Mia Love, a Republican, represents Utah’s 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. For too long, conservatives in my party have focused on administering purity tests instead of expanding our audience.

Black Republican Mia Love Suddenly Realizes Trump Is Trash After Losing Re-Election
She continued, “However, this gave me a clear vision of his world as it is. No real relationships, just convenient transactions. That is an insufficient way to implement sincere service and policy.” And you just now got this clear vision?
Midterm Election Poll: Utah’s 4th District, Love vs. McAdams
There’s a big question on top of the standard margin of error in a poll: Who is going to vote? It’s a particularly challenging question this year, since special elections have shown Democrats voting in large numbers. To estimate the likely electorate, we combine what people say about how likely they are to vote with information about how often they have voted in the past. In previous races, this approach has been more accurate than simply taking people at their word.
Mia Love: The opioid addiction crisis should not be underestimated
I recently met with Harry and Jean Childs from Utah. They are raising two of their grandchildren after a heroin overdose killed their daughter. They personally shared with me their struggles with keeping the youngsters away from the drugs that killed their mother, keeping them in school and getting resources to cope with the trauma and chaos that accompanies addiction: arrests, abuse and other negative effects of the drug abuse lifestyle. They feel they’re losing the battle.
Utah Representatives: We don’t support recreational marijuana - but stigma shouldn‘t stall scientific research into its effects
Red tape, bureaucratic hurdles and arbitrary roadblocks are pervasive in Washington, D.C. These obstacles not only result in irritation and inconvenience, but also have the capacity to cause great harm to the health and happiness of those suffering from painful disorders and diseases. Barriers to medical-grade marijuana research may be resulting in the preventable and unnecessary pain of countless Americans. Many have sought to address this by legalizing medical marijuana at the state level.
Mike Lee, Mia Love: It's time to modernize higher education
From our state’s earliest days, Utah has placed a high value on education. It is part of our cultural DNA. So it’s not totally surprising that when it comes to higher education, Utah is getting a lot of things right. For example, Utah’s tuition rates are the fourth lowest in the nation. Our state has the lowest average student debt. And it enjoys an impressive network of private and public universities, technical colleges and alternative education options.
Mia Love: Sexual harassment must stop now
Sexual harassment has no place in our workplace, homes or culture. It is an absolute tragedy that we have allowed this all-too pervasive and destructive problem to fester in places of power for so long. Too many lives, families, and workplaces have been negatively impacted or even destroyed by it. While this year has shed light on the issue in an unprecedented way, there is still much to do.Change must start with those in positions of influence.
Mia Love: A rigorous but fair process for some undocumented immigrants
I also believe that our immigration reform efforts should provide an opportunity for young undocumented immigrants, who were brought into this country before they were old enough to know any differently, to follow prescribed steps to remain in this country. That is why, following President Trump’s recent announcement to sunset the DACA program, I cosponsored the Recognizing America’s Children (RAC) Act.
Op-ed: Criminal justice reform means getting smart about crime
Behind these statistics are people. And while many of them should be kept off our streets and out of our communities, many others are first-time, nonviolent offenders whose sentences do more harm than their underlying crimes. At some point, overpopulating our prisons actually fosters more crime. For many low-risk, first-time offenders, a mandatory prison sentence can increase the likelihood of future crime and recidivism.
Mia Love: American women deserve a better system of justice
In the spring of 2013, Utah faced a crisis: The Department of Corrections did not have enough beds to accommodate all the women they locked up. So, our state did something to fix the problem. Utah launched the "Female Offender Success Initiative" to offer gender-specific programs to help women in prison overcome drug addiction and other underlying traumas. The program has been a rousing success.
Rep. Mia Love: Bring on the CHOICE Act -- a common sense alternative to Dodd-Frank
Eight years ago, the nation experienced the worst financial crisis in 80 years, which cost millions of Americans their savings, their homes, and their jobs. The response – one that was well-intended, but overly broad -- expanded the federal government’s footprint in our lives and inadvertently left us more vulnerable to the next crisis.
Love: We can find climate solutions and have a thriving economy
Since the beginning of my first term as Representative for Utah's 4th Congressional District, I have sought not only to listen to my constituents, but to align my priorities in Congress with theirs. In that time, I have consistently observed how deeply Utahns care about environmental issues — and rightfully so. We live in our nation's most beautiful state, and many of us actively seek out opportunities to enjoy that beauty by recreating outdoors.
Mia Love: 'One Subject at a Time' makes Congress more responsive
Commentators across the political spectrum have now offered dozens of different perspectives regarding our most recent election cycle. While opinions certainly vary, it is clear that many Americans of every political stripe feel neglected and forgotten. For too long, government has failed to listen to the individuals it exists to serve. Frederick Douglass once observed that "[p]ower concedes nothing without a demand," and the American people have certainly demanded change.
Rep. Love: We are taking bipartisan steps now to fix health care
What good does our nation's high standard of medical care do if those who need it most, are never served by it? Solving this issue, is one that will not be accomplished overnight, but incremental improvements are possible. When I ran for Congress, it was because I wanted to be part of the solution. While I have worked with my colleagues to repeal the ACA, especially the most destructive provisions, I have not waited to act on other health care issues important to Utahns.
Rep. Love: We are taking bipartisan steps now to fix health care
Over the course of the past two years, I have had the opportunity to listen to thousands of Utahns from all walks of life. These are young college students, small business owners, middle-class families and retirees reliant upon Medicare. I have felt the anxiety of countless constituents who lie awake at night wondering how they could recover financially from a visit to the hospital.
Mia Love, Doug Owens meet in congressional debate Monday - Dothan Eagle: State
Love is facing her first re-election battle against a familiar opponent. She defeated Owens two years ago by winning 51 percent of the vote to his 46 percent.

Mia Love on The Iran Deal: We're Talking About Kicking a Bomb Down The Road
Newly minted Congresswoman Mia Love is speaking out against the White House deal with Iran, saying it's deeply concerning and inappropriate. "This is not a joke. This is not a game and it's not even partisan. This isn't even about kicking the can down the road. We're talking about kicking a bomb down the road in the next 15 years and that's incredibly concerning to me," Love said during an interview with Fox News yesterday. "We're going to lift sanctions.
Op-ed: Students should know colleges' success rates before they take out loans
Instead of looking back at their college experience with fond memories, those students might be frustrated and left wondering if they should have chosen a different major or a different institution. Parents' anxiety over whether their son or daughter would graduate turns into anxiety about the future. I recently spoke to a mom who has three kids in college, all of them with debt, and one of them with about $80,000 in loans.
