Utah congressional candidate Mia Love spoke Tuesday night during a coveted slot at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. Love has been characterized by her groundbreaking role in state politics, becoming Utah's first black female mayor.
She now stands to become the first black Republican woman in Congress if she topples Jim Matheson, a Democrat, in the November election. The daughter of Haitian immigrants, Love said the theme of her speech is "The America I Know."
Love's Wikipedia page was vandalized with racist slurs shortly after her appearance at the RNC: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/29/mia-love-wikipedia-page-vandalized-with-slurs/
