UTAH –  After losing to Rep. Jim Matheson in 2012 by a razor-thin margin, Republican Mia Love will get another shot at going to Congress, this time taking on Doug Owens, the son of a former congressman.
Love, who gained national prominence in her first campaign, clinched the party’s nomination by securing more than 78 percent of the vote Saturday from Republican delegates in the 4th Congressional District against opponent Bob Fuehr.
Love said she met with more delegates during the past five weeks than the nearly 850 who actually showed up from her district to vote at the state GOP convention at South Towne Expo Center.
“I am honored to have their support. They really make this process awesome for me. This is my favorite part,” she said. “Going on from here, we are going to work hard. We are not going to take anything for granted. I am going to go out and earn every vote and really amplify Utah’s voice.”   (read more)

Love emerged from a crowded field to capture the Republican nomination two years ago. Then, in a hard-fought contest with millions of dollars of national money pouring in on both sides, she lost to Matheson by 768 votes out of nearly a quarter of a million ballots cast.

The former mayor of Saratoga Springs barely stopped running, re-launching her campaign soon after the defeat, but the seven-term incumbent Matheson — the lone Democrat in Utah’s congressional delegation — decided not to seek re-election.

Love has already raised more than $2 million in her second bid for the 4th District seat. Fuehr raised less than $300,000.
