Mia Love On Track to be First Black Republican Congresswoman
[img][/img]
Mia Love is the daughter of Haitian immigrants who came to America with more dreams than dollars
If Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love wins her bid for Congress, she will be the first black Republican congresswoman in history. But dont try to put her in that box.
Love is running in Utahs newly created 4th Congressional District. She will face a primary field including state Reps. Stephen Sandstrom and Carl Wimmer on June 26. If she wins, shell face Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson, who remains incredibly popular, in November.
The historical significance that her election would hold is not lost on Love, but she is adamant that she doesnt want her race or gender to play any role in the contest.

(8,556 posts)1. Perhaps she's got a future in national Republican politics
But she looks pretty green right now. Mayor of a tiny city with less than 20K people in it? That's not going to cut it. Even Palin was at least a governor when she was picked.
Besides, two Mormons on the ticket? Not gonna happen.

(24,721 posts)3. Two Mormons on one ticket? Only if Fixed News can spin like they've never spun before.
This would take a major undertaking of propaganda salesmanship for Fixed News. Plus, the fact that she isn't white would make it more difficult for Fixed News to make racist remarks about Obama.

What do you call that, a quadrafecta?
