MIA LOVE PASSES AWAY AT 49, LEAVING BEHIND A LEGACY SHAPED BY ADVERSITY

First Black Republican Woman in Congress Dies Surrounded by Family

Mia Love, the historic former U.S. Representative who shattered barriers as the first Black Republican woman in Congress, has passed away at the age of 49, three years after being diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Love’s heartbreaking passing was confirmed by her family on Sunday, March 23, in a deeply emotional statement.

According to her loved ones, she died peacefully at home, surrounded by family.

“With grateful hearts overflowing for the profound impact Mia had on our lives, we share that she passed away peacefully today,” the family wrote in a statement posted on her social media accounts.

“In the midst of celebrating her life and cherishing the countless joyful memories, Mia quietly slipped the bonds of mortality and, as her words and vision always did, soared heavenward.

We are immensely grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and condolences from around the world.”

A Legacy of Breaking Barriers

Mia Love made history in 2014 when she was elected to represent Utah’s 4th Congressional District, becoming the first Black Republican woman to serve in Congress.

Her political journey began in Saratoga Springs, Utah, where she first entered public service while tackling a local mosquito infestation.

During her time in Congress, Love became the only Republican member of the Congressional Black Caucus, an influential group dedicated to advancing policies that help Black Americans and marginalized communities achieve the American Dream.

After narrowly losing re-election in 2018, Love transitioned to political commentary, becoming a CNN analyst, where she continued to share her expertise and perspective on national issues.

A Courageous Battle Against Cancer

In 2022, Love was diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of brain cancer.

The disease rapidly invades healthy brain tissue, and survival rates remain devastatingly low.

The MD Anderson Cancer Center estimates that most GBM patients survive only 1.5 to 2 years, with just a 10% survival rate beyond five years.

Despite the grim prognosis, Love faced her diagnosis with strength and resilience, leaving behind a legacy of determination, leadership, and service.

Her passing marks a profound loss for the political world and beyond.

Remembering Mia Love

Mia Love’s unwavering spirit and groundbreaking achievements will be remembered as an inspiration for generations to come.

Her trailblazing career, fierce advocacy, and historic contributions to American politics ensure that her legacy lives on.

Rest in peace, Mia Love.
