Congresswoman Mia Love tells Utah House she's fighting regulatory overreach and supporting local solutions
Summary
Congresswoman Mia Love addressed the Utah House, emphasizing limiting federal regulatory expansions, work on financial services and anti-trafficking measures, and assistance to constituents on immigration; members followed with a brief Q&A.
SALT LAKE CITY — Congresswoman Mia Love visited the Utah House on Thursday, thanking members and outlining her work in Washington on scaling back regulatory rulemaking, banking and anti-illicit-finance efforts, and measures to address human trafficking.
"I support the work that you're doing," Love told the chamber, saying her role is to represent Utah values in Washington and to "make sure that Washington interferes as little as possible in the great work that you're doing." She described activity on the House Financial Services Committee, including work on access to credit and a new subcommittee on terrorism and illicit financing.
Love said she is "still, working on poverty, criminal justice reform" and highlighted bipartisan caucus work on those items. On health-care legislation she emphasized an intent not to leave people "in a lurch" should repeal efforts move forward and described efforts to reduce out-of-pocket costs for contraceptives through market-based approaches.
Members asked brief questions about ACA repeal-and-replace timing, contraceptive access and constituent assistance for immigration matters; Love said her office is available to help Utahns with immigration concerns.
The exchange lasted only minutes before the House returned to its floor calendar.
