Mia Love, a trailblazing politician and the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, died at 49 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Announcing her death via social media, her family shared that she was no longer responding to treatment. Love began her political career in local government, eventually serving as the mayor of Saratoga Springs. She made national headlines in 2014 when she became the first Black Republican woman to win a congressional seat, despite not highlighting her race during campaigns. Love's political career was marked by her independence from party norms, particularly during Trump's candidacy.
"Love, who became the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, was known for her leadership and the barriers she broke in a predominantly white Utah."
"Mia Love's journey in politics began in 2003, and she made significant strides, including becoming the mayor of Saratoga Springs before her congressional run."
