Letter: Mia Love needs to stop lying about Ben McAdams

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams announces his plans to run against two-term Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, for the stateÕs 4th Congressional District, Wednesday October 18, 2017. (Al Hartmann | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Fourth District Congresswoman Mia Love meets with Salt Lake Tribune's editorial board Tuesday August 30, 2016.

In a campaign email from Mia Love, our current 4th congressional district representative, she continued to spread the lie that Nancy Pelosi recruited Ben McAdams to replace her.

Mayor McAdams has clearly stated that when elected, he will not vote for Nancy Pelosi as leader in the House of Representatives.

I received a second email a few days later that said, “Yes, the election is still months away. But that means there are months and months of attack ads on the way, intended to tear me down and build up my opponent.”

It is a shame that Rep. Love can’t elevate her campaign to be honest. She is the first to attack and tell lies in her fundraising; I shudder to see the ads that will soon appear.

Rep. Love, please take responsibility for your campaign and elevate the tone by eliminating lies and mudslinging.
