Mia Love, the first black woman elected to Congress as a Republican, has died at the age of 49.
In a post on the X platform, Love’s family confirmed that she had passed away following a long battle with brain cancer:
With grateful hearts filled to overflowing for the profound influence of Mia on our lives, we want you to know that she passed away peacefully today.
She was in her home surrounded by family. In the midst of a celebration of her life and an avalanche of happy memories, Mia quietly slipped the bands of mortality and, as her words and vision always did, soared heavenward.
We are thankful for the many good wishes, prayers and condolences.
We are taking some time as a family and will provide information about funeral services and a public celebration of her life in the days to come.
