Mia Love, the first Black female Republican member of Congress who served in Utah’s 1st District from 2015 to 2019, has died at the age of 49 after suffering from brain cancer, Breitbart reports.
The Brooklyn native Love was the daughter of Haitian immigrants who converted to the Church of Latter-Day Saints in adulthood and found her way to Utah, where she was elected mayor of the town of Saratoga Springs in 2010 before winning the House seat in 2014. Love lost a tight race to Dem Ben McAdams during the 2018 blue wave, something convicted felon President Trump wasn’t too unhappy about the next day, saying “Mia Love gave me no love, and she lost. Too bad. Sorry about that, Mia,” during that infamous press conference where Jim Acosta was kicked out.
