Way to go Mia. What can the left say now, Black, Female, Conservative, Mom, from a self made start by immigrant parents who worked hard, and never took an hand out. This is the best news yet out of this election cycle.
I love the Love!
This is fantastic! I thought she'd be forced into a primary! Go for it Mia. We need to get rid of Matheson.
Mia Love is a passionate conservative who can explain it to others, and will stand and fight.
We NEED her in Congress instead of Nancy Pelosi's pet "Blue Dog" Jim Matheson.
