From Deseret News, about the Congressional candidate: "After gaining the backing of the new Republican vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan in June, Utah's Mia Love is bringing another big-name advocate to town to assist in her bid to unseat Rep. Jim Matheson from Congress. Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit Utah on Sept. 7 to stump for the Saratoga Springs mayor, Love announced Monday. Rice will be the third prominent Republican to visit Utah on Love's behalf in the near future, with a visit from U.S. House Speaker John Boehner set for Wednesday and a visit from Sen. John McCain on Thursday."
Why are they helping her to raise money? "With a win in November, Love would unseat six-term incumbent Matheson, Utah's lone Democrat in Washington. She would also become the first black Republican woman in Congress."
