WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman James Clyburn (D-S.C.) released the following statement on the passing of former Congresswoman Mia Love of Utah:
“My heartfelt condolences are with the family of former Congresswoman Mia Love of Utah.
“I grew to know, admire, and respect Mia during her time in Congress. As the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, she believed in unity, and understood that its existence does not require unanimity. Mia fiercely stood against bias toward the Haitian community, and leaves a tremendous legacy of over 15 years in public service for the people of Utah.
“My prayers are with her loved ones during this time.”
