Mia Love wins GOP nomination for UT-04

[MichaelDavis]

"Former Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love earned ample support from Utah Republicans on Saturday to win her party’s nod for the House — and most likely become the GOP’s first black congresswoman.


One of the GOP’s most-touted prospects, Love received 78 percent of the delegate votes and put away the nomination at this year’s state Republican convention, according to the Deseret News. Her primary rival, businessman Bob Fuehr, garnered about 22 percent of the vote.


In Utah, GOP candidates who meet a 60 percent threshold at the convention can bypass a June primary. The all-day convention took place in Sandy, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City."

Unless the left's replacement garners all of Matheson's voters, she looks to have this in the bag. Looks to.

Excellent news!

She gave an awesome convention speech (loved her attacks on the NSA and government spying):

I hope she's as impressive as she sounds. Senator Orrin Hatch has pledged to retire in 2018, so she could be a fantastic candidate.

I won't hold my breath, but I hope she is good.
