Mia Love backs Coleman to retake Congressional seat for GOP

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Former Republican congresswoman Mia Love is endorsing a state lawmaker who is one of four candidates hoping to win back the seat for the GOP.  Love said Wednesday that Rep. Kim Coleman has been a tenacious contender against three other Republicans also competing for the party’s nomination in the suburban Salt Lake City district. Love was the first black female Republican in Congress. She served two terms and became a CNN contributor after a razor-thin defeat at the polls in 2018. She had briefly considered a rematch against Democrat Ben McAdams, who could be facing an uphill battle to win re-election in the Republican-leaning 4th Congressional District.
