Congresswoman Mia Love is no rookie when it comes to failing at constituent services. Last year, she was caught being MIA on Veteran’s Day and ignoring the pleas of a veteran’s family. Now, she has moved on to blowing off seniors.

Column: Utah tour group can’t quite pull off meeting with Mia Love, but not for a lack of trying

A group of 20 senior citizens toured Washington, D.C., last month through the University of Utah’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and had a delightful and educational experience meeting with each of the state’s congressional delegation.
Except for one.
Her staff requested a list of written questions for her, which seemed odd since it was just a casual get-together. The staff also said she would take no political questions, another curious demand.
“Arriving at her office prior to 11:30, we were told Rep. Love was on the House floor casting votes,” said Joan Rawlins, a member of the group. “Twenty-five minutes later, we offered to go to the House Chamber so she could meet briefly with us in the hall between votes. This was agreed to by her staff.”
Escorted by a member of 2nd District Rep. Chris Stewart’s staff, the seniors walked a considerable distance from Love’s office to the House Chamber. When they arrived and cleared security, they were told Love had returned to her office. So they trekked back.
Once there, several staffers met the students at the door and told them Love was on a plane and would not be meeting with them.
