4th District GOP Congressional candidate Mia Love is once again garnering national attention.
This time, Cosmopolitan Magazine has included her on a list of 20 Women to Watch in Politics this year. The list includes such luminaries as Hillary Clinton, Texas Gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis and New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez.
Love comes in at #18 on the list:
The mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, lost her 2012 bid for the House of Representatives, but she’s running again in 2014. If elected, she’ll be the first black female Republican in Congress and the first person of color to represent Utah —which makes her a standout hope for a party struggling to reach out women. “Any time I’m in front of that camera … I’m going to champion those conservative causes. I’m going to let people out there know that we exist, and that … there are conservative black Americans everywhere that believe in fiscal discipline, limited government, and personal responsibility,” she told The Daily Caller. Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson’s announcement that he won’t run again makes her election seem even more likely.
