GOP's Mia Love glides into the spotlight at convention

TAMPA, Fla. – Mia Love isn't a household name yet.

But by the end of the Republican National Convention, she could be, as she prepares to deliver what is poised to be a breakout speech Tuesday evening in Tampa.

Her profile and backstory alone have made her a compelling presence in the conservative movement. She is a first-generation Haitian-American, a Mormon and a small-town Utah mayor. Love, who is black, is also running for Congress in mostly white Utah. If elected, she would be the first black Republican woman ever to serve in Congress.

At her address Tuesday, the mayor of Saratoga Springs will present herself to the nation as the embodiment of the American Dream -- and touch on themes of self-reliance, small government and fiscal responsibility.

The 36-year-old mayor, who is in an uphill race against popular incumbent Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson in her state, said in a brief statement she'll also discuss President Obama's "disastrous policies" and "make the case that the best way to shore up that dream and return our country to prosperity is to elect real leaders like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."
