       MOMENT OF SILENCE IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE HONORABLE MIA LOVE

  (Mr. OWENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)

[[Page H1317]]

  

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, today we remember and honor a trailblazer, a 
leader, and a dear friend, Mia Love.
  Mia made history as Utah's first Black mayor and the first Black 
Republican woman elected to Congress, but her impact went far further 
than those titles. She was a fierce advocate, a tireless servant, and a 
bright light in the lives of so many.
  Mia brought passion, energy, and an unwavering commitment to the 
people of Utah's Fourth District, a district that I am now proud to 
serve. She led with grace and conviction, never backing down from a 
challenge, and always striving to make a difference for those she 
served. It is for me a profound honor to follow in her footsteps.
  Her legacy is one of faith, courage, and love, and the highlight of 
her life was her husband, Jason, and her family. These descriptions are 
all fitting for a woman whose name said it all.
  While we grieve her loss, we also celebrate a life well lived, a 
mission well served, and a friend deeply missed. Our Utah communities 
mourn for the Love family. We pray that they find peace in the Heavenly 
Father's love and comfort and solace in what Mia has meant to all of 
us.
  Now, please rise for a moment of silence.
