Love was elected as a Republican to the Eightieth Congress (January 3, 1947 – January 3, 1949), but was unsuccessful for reelection in 1948 to the Eighty-first Congress, losing to the Democrat Robert L. Ramsay.[2] Love was the Republican nominee again in 1950 and 1952, but was unable to regain his former seat in the House.[3] He resumed the general practice of law and served as delegate to Republican National Conventions in 1956, 1960, 1964, and 1968. As the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in 1966, Love was defeated by Jennings Randolph by a margin of 60 to 40%.[4]
