Wikipedia notes:

Ludmya Bourdeau "Mia" Love (born December 6, 1975) is an Haitian-American politician and the U.S. Representative Utah's 4th congressional district. Previously the Mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah from 2010 to 2014, Love is the first Haitian American and the first black female Republican in Congress, as well as the first black woman from Utah in Congress.
Abortion- Love is pro-life and has been endorsed by the Susan B. Anthony List.
Spending and taxes- Love proposes deep cuts to federal spending, particularly in the area of entitlement spending (Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid). She also supports cutting taxes.
Other issues- She supports domestic energy exploration, local control of education, Second Amendment rights, and state control of public lands.
Congressional Black Caucus- She has said that if elected to Congress, she would "join the Congressional Black Caucus and try to take that thing apart from the inside out." She has described the mainly Democratic Caucus as characterized by :...demagoguery. They sit there and ignite emotions and ignite racism when there isn't. They use their positions to instill fear. Hope and change is turned into fear and blame. Fear that everybody is going to lose everything and blaming Congress for everything instead of taking responsibility."
Personal life- Raised a Roman Catholic, Love joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after graduating college in 1998. While a flight attendant she moved to Utah as part of her work, but also to be closer to the temple and to learn more about her faith. There she got to know Jason Love, whom she had met briefly when he was an LDS missionary in Connecticut. The two were married in December 1998. Love turned down an offer to appear in the Broadway show "Smokey Joe's Cafe" that started two days before her marriage. They have three children.

Love's Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/miablove. On Jan. 4th she posted an article about her husband: "Thought I should post this article. It's rare to have a reporter capture the details of an LDS family working together to serve. Kudos to Doug Robinson. "Mr. (Mia) Love - the man behind the congresswoman- Jason Love will stay home in Saratoga Springs with the children while Mia Love goes to Washington. "It has been an adventure from the beginning," he says of their marriage."

On New Years Day, Love posted a cute picture of her family in front of the Capitol along with a message which read, "Yes Washington is broken, because Washington has forgotten that "We, the people" don't belong to government, the government belongs to the people. This family and the families of many others around this great country are committing to do all we can in 2015, to return power back to people. Happy New Year. May God bless you all."


Her Twitter account is here: https://twitter.com/miablove. Love recently re-tweeted a tweet by Michele Bachmann which read "Ran into my friend @MiaBLove in the hallway. She'll be a fabulous Congresswoman. Watch her do great things."

Nation's First Black Republican Congresswoman Swears In, Promises to "End Foreign Military Financing"

http://libertyfight.com/2015/Mia_Love_1st_black_repub_End_Foreign_Military_Financing.html

39-year-old Mia Love from Utah is the first black woman Republican ever to be elected to the House of Representatives. She was sworn into office today, January 6th. On the plus side, Love is a novel candidate who spouts what we like to hear- pro 2nd amendment, states rights, smaller government. On the minus side, Mia Love is endorsed by fellow Mormon Mitt Romney and is pals with Michelle Bachman. The daughter of Haitian- immigrants, Love once told a newspaper "I was a miracle and our family's ticket to America." Love is extremely vague- almost nonexistent - on her foreign policy ideals, as the "Foreign Affairs" page on her official House website literally only features a picture of flags- nothing more.

During her 2012 campaign race, she released a document in which she said the U.S. should "End foreign military financing," for a savings of $5.4 billion. "Take a look at my initial plan to cut federal spending," she said. "It isn't the final solution- much more will need to be done- but it's a bold first step to stop the flood of wasteful spending. I want to know what you think of my plan, and I'd love to hear your ideas. Contact Mia at 8013106415 mia@love4utah.com."

On her official house website love.house.gov, her 'Foreign Affairs' page consists only of one photo of a bunch of flags and text which reads "For more information concerning work and views related to Foreign Affairs, please contact our office."
