00:00For what purpose does the gentleman from Utah seek recognition?
00:05Mr. Speaker, I ask anonymous consent to speak out of order.
00:09Without objection.
00:14The gentleman is recognized.
00:22Today we remember and honor a trailblazer, a leader, and a dear friend, Mia Love.
00:28Mia made history as Utah's first black mayor and the first black Republican woman elected to Congress.
00:35But her impact went far further than those titles.
00:39She was a fierce advocate, a tireless servant, and a bright light in the lives of so many.
00:44Mia brought passion, energy, and an unwavering commitment to the people of Utah's 4th District,
00:49a district that I am now proud to serve.
00:53She led with grace and conviction, never backing down from a challenge,
00:57and always striving to make a difference to those she served.
01:00It is for me a profound honor to follow in her footsteps.
01:03Her legacy is one of faith, courage, love, and a highlight of her life, her husband Jason and her family.
01:10All fitting for a woman whose name said it all.
01:13While we grieve her loss, we also celebrate a life well lived, a mission well served, and a friend deeply missed.
01:21Our Utah communities mourn for the Love family.
01:24We pray that they find peace in Heavenly Father's love and comfort and solace in what Mia has meant to all of us.
01:31And now, please rise for a moment of silence.
01:51Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield back.
