b'Guest Bio:
Representative Mia Love was born in Brooklyn, New York and eventually moved to Connecticut. \\xa0Rep. Love recalls both her parents working hard to earn a living.\\xa0\\xa0 Her father, at times, worked more than one job to pay school tuition for his three children. \\xa0On the day of Love\\u2019s college orientation, her father said something to her that would become the mantra for her life:
"Mia, your mother and I never took a handout. You will not be a burden to society. You will give back."
Rep. Love graduated from the University of Hartford with a degree in fine arts. She moved to Utah and married her husband, Jason Love.\\xa0 She was eager to carry forward her father\\u2019s ethic of \\u2018giving back\\u2019. \\xa0

Rep. Love served two terms on the city council of Saratoga Springs, one of Utah\\u2019s fastest growing cities. As City Councilwoman and eventually Mayor, she led the city through a period of 1700% population growth in a decade. Under her leadership, the city was able to successfully navigate the drastic transition from agricultural fields to a booming residential community. When the citizen growth necessitated fire and police services, Love fought to make sure the city\'s first ever residential tax implementation would only pay for those essential services, and she structured it in such a way that the tax decreased as a percentage of property value.

Rep. Love is best known for her conservative positions on limited government, increased citizen liberties and limited restraints on business. She believes the best thing she can do as a Congresswoman is to urge the federal government to stay out of the way of business and out of the lives of citizens. She advocates a return to personal responsibility and reduced government dependency, again a value engendered by her father.

She felt so deeply about these convictions, she ran for Congress in 2012, and again in 2014 where she was victorious.\\xa0 Now in her second term in Congress, Representative Love has been very busy keeping the promises she made to her constituents in the 4th\\xa0district by voting to foster local control in all aspects of government.

Congresswoman Love has sponsored a variety of bills, 10 in her first term, one of which passed the House of Representatives in April 2016.\\xa0 (H.R. 3791 would give more small banks the flexibility to lend money to consumers.)\\xa0\\xa0 She is the co-sponsor of dozens of additional bills, including legislation that promotes local control of education, free market solutions to our health care crisis, and cutting the regulatory burden that the federal government has imposed on small businesses.

Rep. Love is serving on the Financial Services Committee, and on the Monetary Policy and Trade, Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, and the Terrorism and Illicit Financing subcommittees.\\xa0\\xa0 In 2016, Rep. Love is also served on the Select Investigative Committee on Infant Lives. \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

Based on her votes, she has twice been honored to accept the U.S. Chamber of Commerce \\u2018Spirit of Enterprise Award\\u2019, the American Conservative Union\\u2019s \\u2018Award for Conservative Excellence\\u2019, the IFDA\'s \'Thomas Jefferson Award, the Susan B. Anthony List\\u2019s \\u2018Marilyn Musgrave Defender of Life\\u2019 award, and the National Federation of Independent Business \'Small Business Guardian Award\'.'
