At National Review Online, columnist John Fund profiles Saratoga Springs mayor Mia Love, who will square off against Rep. Jim Matheson for the newly drawn 4th congressional district seat.

Love’s presence in Congress would certainly shake up the House. I met her at CPAC, the annual conservative conference, where she gave a stirring speech: “According to liberals, I’m not supposed to exist. I know that I am going to be a target for the Left. I have something to say to them: Game On.”

She was right about being a target. The liberal website Daily Kos ran an article about her race in January in which it dismissed her as “one of only two African-Americans living in Utah not currently playing for the Jazz.” It went on to claim “the GOP is clearly desperate for a new token black Republican, after Herman Cain and Michael Steele didn’t pan out.”
