<h2>I’m Cori Bush, a wife, mother, pastor, and former nurse running to represent the people of St. Louis.</h2>I’m running to represent everyday people in D.C. because I’ve faced the same struggles that too many people in St. Louis experience.&nbsp;I know what it’s like to face the impossible choice between paying bills and putting food on the table. I know what it’s like to be in need of abortion care in a state where our reproductive freedoms are under constant attack. I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck, been evicted, and lived unhoused in a car with my two babies. I’ve experienced chronic health issues and COVID-19 without health insurance, and I know what it’s like to have to think twice before receiving life-changing care because the cost was too high.As someone born and raised in St. Louis, I know what we need: a leader with courage and integrity who isn’t afraid to stand up for what’s right. We don’t need bought-off politicians who take orders from corporate PACs and far-right donors. We need a fighter who answers to the people, not the billionaires who have rigged the rules in their favor. I am that fighter.

<h2>Wesley Bell, who voted to thank ICE, can’t meet the political moment because he’s bankrolled by prominent ICE contractors and the same donors who put President Trump back in the White House.</h2>Voters aged 18-50 should see online that Wesley Bell voted to thank ICE, receives campaign contributions from major ICE contractors, is backed by Trump’s top donors, and that his campaign is financed by AIPAC. Black voters over 50 should be reminded on the radio and in their mailboxes that Wesley Bell voted to thank ICE, receives campaign contributions from major ICE contractors, and is backed by Trump’s top donors.<h3>Further Context:</h3><a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/10/dems-splinter-on-ice-hill-leaders">Wesley Bell broke with Democratic leadership to join Republicans in thanking ICE</a>, and has taken corporate PAC checks from prominent ICE’s contractors. Wesley Bell’s 2024 campaign was bankrolled by some of Trump’s biggest donors and MAGA SuperPACs. This year, many of those same donors are backing him again. The number one source of Wesley Bell’s campaign contributions is AIPAC.

Priorities

Here in St. Louis, the cost of daily necessities keeps going up. We’ve watched our grocery prices, rent, insurance, and utility bills climb while wages stay flat. Stable jobs are vanishing, our fundamental freedoms are under attack, and our families and neighbors are struggling while the rich get richer.&nbsp; The people of St. Louis feel the impact of failed leadership every single day, but it doesn’t have to be this way. We deserve a representative who shows up when it’s hardest, fights for us, and isn't afraid to stand up for what's right. That’s who I’ve always been: ten toes down for St. Louis.

Jews for Cori

ST. LOUIS, MO — One month ago, Congresswoman Cori Bush <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPWDjKejmrP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">announced</a> that she was reclaiming her seat to represent the people of Missouri’s First District. In just 30 days, Congresswoman Bush’s campaign for Congress has galvanized an overwhelming surge of community support, locking in key endorsements and generating measurable impact and resonance.<ul><li>Thousands of individual contributors</li><li>Hundreds of volunteers recruited</li><li>Nearly 7 million organic impressions across channels</li><li>Over 225K social engagements</li><li>Over 22K new followers</li></ul>Cori continues to stand on the principles that led her to upset a 52-year political dynasty while fighting and winning on issues like affordability and housing security. The same principles that stand in contrast to incumbent Wesley Bell’s Trump-like behavior, whether <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQaGd94EjAU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">inflicting state violence on those he represents</a>, or paying over half a million of St. Louis County <a href="https://www.firstalert4.com/2025/01/25/st-louis-county-settles-discrimination-claims-aimed-former-pa-wesley-bell-with-500k-payout/">taxpayer resources</a> to settle a sexual discrimination case earlier this year. When you follow the money, it is clear that the big money backing him cares little about the district Bell represents and only that he answers to <a href="https://www.trackaipac.com/donors">their interests</a>.“This campaign has always been about the people of St. Louis — our families, our workers, our communities who make this district what it is,” said Congresswoman Cori Bush. “The energy we’ve seen in just one month is proof that our movement is alive and growing. Folks are tired of politics that serve the powerful and leave our families behind. We’re organizing, we’re caring for one another, and we’re building something that can’t be bought — because this campaign is built by people power.”<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQSTpRBkpE8/">“I’m feeling the love, y’all!” -Cori Bush</a>Across the country, that same demand for courage and conviction is reshaping our politics. Voters are choosing leaders who reject corporate influence and stand firmly with the people — the very principles that have defined Cori’s work from day one. At the same time, Democrats are <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/us/politics/democrats-aipac.html">distancing themselves</a> from AIPAC and confronting deeper questions about their identity and values. Bell <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/wesley-bell-backed-by-aipac-defeats-squad-member-cori-bush-in-st-louis-distrct-primary">accepted tens of millions</a> in funding from AIPAC, mostly to fund a <a href="https://theintercept.com/2024/07/31/aipac-cori-bush-attack-photo/">misleading and derogatory</a> paid media campaign.In this moment, Cori <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/10/democrats-cori-bush-trump-mamdani-2026-2028.html?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=traffic&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_content=copy_link">offers a vision</a> – a growing grassroots donor base of thousands who are <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/09/19/money-power-and-the-influence-of-ordinary-people-in-american-politics/#:~:text=too%20little%20influence.-,Views%20on%20limiting%20the%20role%20of%20money%20in%20politics,29%25%20say%20it%20is%20not.">enthusiastic about candidates who answer to the people, not to special interest</a> groups, Republican and Trump mega-donors, as highlighted from First Alert 4, “There is also truth in the Assertion that Trump’s donors are helping to bankroll ads supporting Bell”.&nbsp;“<a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GD9tvsQYg/">CORI BUSH IS RUNNING AGAIN AND STANDING ON PRINCIPLE</a>”Early grassroots and organizational support from endorsers like Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, STL DSA, and many more signal that our message is resonating. Zohran Mamdani looks overwhelmingly <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11/03/nyregion/nyc-mayor-election-news">poised for victory</a> on a platform with core values long championed by Cori Bush. Congresswoman Bush launched her campaign because she believes that St. Louis deserves a leader who fights for its families — ten toes down.&nbsp;One month later, as the government shutdown drags on and SNAP benefits are stripped from families across the district, the stakes couldn’t be higher, as <a href="https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/missouri/2025/11/01/missouri-snap-benefits-government-shutdown/87006298007/">10% of Missouri families</a> are on the verge of losing food aid. Our neighbors continue to pay the price for political dysfunction, and the courage to lead has gone missing. This moment demands leadership that’s built different — leadership that shows up when it’s hardest, that refuses to play by broken rules, isn’t afraid to fight for the people too often dismissed, and holds a track record of delivering. That’s who Cori Bush has always been and will continue to be — because St. Louis built her, brick by brick.

Congresswoman Bush’s campaign for Congress has galvanized an overwhelming surge of community support, locking in key endorsements and generating measurable impact and resonance.

ST. LOUIS, MO — Today, Congresswoman <a href="http://coribush.org">Cori Bush</a> announced that her campaign to take back her seat in Missouri's 1st Congressional District raised over $525,000 in her first quarter of fundraising, with an average donation of $25.48 from small dollar email and SMS fundraising — a clear sign of the grassroots momentum behind her as her supporters seek to send a proven advocate for everyday people back to Congress.In 2024, AIPAC and their allies spent $15 million to unseat her in one of the most expensive Congressional primary races in U.S. history. Congresswoman Bush’s opponent is awash in corrupt cash, with 63% of his donations in the last three quarters bundled by AIPAC, and numerous checks from corporate PACs in his coffers. In contrast, Congresswoman Bush leads a campaign that takes no money from the pro-Israel lobby, the fossil fuel industry, cryptocurrency PACs, or other corporate donors. Her platform is informed by the concerns of the people in St. Louis, rather than by billionaires and corporations. Her vision of a future where all people have quality healthcare, affordable housing, and can afford their basic needs has resonated with a wide range of grassroots donors who want to see a leader who truly represents them back in office.“I’m deeply humbled by the energy everyday people have brought to this campaign,” said Congresswoman Cori Bush. “We’ve been in community, talking about what actually matters: Medicare for All, reproductive freedom, and an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected. This is people power, and together we’re building the momentum to take on special interests, fight oligarchy, and make sure the people of St. Louis have real representation in Congress.”“I’m running to return to Congress to deliver resources, relief, and progress for the people of our district. To bring the values of St. Louis to Washington – fighting for affordability, real public safety, and justice without apology. That means standing for human rights for all and confronting Trump’s MAGA Project 2025 agenda head-on, including calling for the abolition of ICE. This movement is made up of people who are tired of being told what can’t be done and are ready for leadership that works for the people.”“At a moment when freezing temperatures exacerbate the needs of many of our families here in St. Louis who were displaced by last year’s tornado, and when masked federal agents are terrorizing communities with impunity, we need leaders who aren’t afraid to act. I’ve always been that leader, and when I’m back in Congress, I’ll keep standing up, fighting back, and refusing to back down from Trump’s fascism.”The Congresswoman celebrates early grassroots momentum as she campaigns to win back her seat, with early endorsements from <a href="https://ourrevolution.com/cori-bush-mo-1-endorsement/">Our Revolution</a>, <a href="https://justicedemocrats.com/candidate/cori-bush/">Justice Democrats</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DQCwwKJDgwI/">St. Louis DSA</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DRz-kAfETgb/">Jewish Voice for Peace Action</a>, <a href="https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/column/joe-holleman/article_f047f68e-dada-4be4-94ab-c26afd1f13ff.html">Progressive Jews of St. Louis</a>, <a href="https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/national-nurses-united-endorses-cori-bush-for-missouris-1st-district">National Nurses United</a>, and more.

Bush is campaigning to bring the values of St. Louis to DC, demanding an economy that works for everyone, a healthcare system that puts people over profit, and a vision for the future that rebukes President Trump’s moral bankruptcy. In this political moment, everyday people deserve leaders who are not afraid to fight for them.

Cori Bush Launches Holiday Radio Ad with Message of Hope 

ST. LOUIS, MO — Yesterday, Congresswoman Cori Bush celebrated endorsements from <a href="https://coribush.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4acfd2ace00d1b18a69659857&amp;id=e40ed65a59&amp;e=847c30f8af" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jewish Voice for Peace Action</a> and<a href="https://coribush.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4acfd2ace00d1b18a69659857&amp;id=dfc34d19d6&amp;e=847c30f8af" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Progressive Jews of St. Louis</a> as she campaigns for reelection to continue her work representing Missouri’s 1st District.Later that evening, Cori gathered with volunteers and supporters, including allies from the <a href="https://coribush.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4acfd2ace00d1b18a69659857&amp;id=0f9cae6b86&amp;e=847c30f8af" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IfNotNow Movement</a>, at Left Bank Books in St. Louis. Attendees gathered to relaunch Jews for Cori, a group of progressive Jewish St. Louisans who actively organized and mobilized for Cori during the 2024 election cycle. This year, organizers once again came together to volunteer their time, energy, and resources for the only candidate in the race who reflects their values by speaking out against oppression, apartheid, and genocide.Cori continues to stand for the same principles she always has — affirming the humanity of all people, whether they be right here in St. Louis, or across the world.. Her campaign is building a movement of people brought together by shared values and moral clarity, one that rejects all forms of hatred and oppression, including anti-semitism Cori believes that this is one St. Louis, and we all deserve dignity and respect.“I am incredibly proud to receive endorsements from Jewish Voice for Peace Action and Progressive Jews of St. Louis, two organizations made up of true leaders in our movement for peace and justice. I’m grateful for their work to engage people here in Missouri’s 1st district and across the country. In this moment of fear and pain for so many, St. Louis needs a fighter in Washington. I look forward to working alongside JVPA and ProJoSTL as we build our coalition for positive change and justice for all,” said Congresswoman Cori Bush. “I am also grateful to have Jews for Cori by my side once again, standing with me as we advocate for our shared values. The energy we’ve seen so early in this campaign is proof that our movement is alive and growing. People are tired of politics that serve the rich and powerful and leave us behind. Together, we’re building something that can’t be bought: a campaign built by people power.”These endorsements from Jewish Voice for Peace Action and Progressive Jews of St. Louis follow other early endorsers like <a href="https://coribush.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4acfd2ace00d1b18a69659857&amp;id=dbdcb1ddab&amp;e=847c30f8af" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Justice Democrats</a>, <a href="https://coribush.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4acfd2ace00d1b18a69659857&amp;id=d9bdd46328&amp;e=847c30f8af" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Our Revolution</a>, <a href="https://coribush.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4acfd2ace00d1b18a69659857&amp;id=735b246208&amp;e=847c30f8af" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">STL DSA</a>, and many more.

That is who Cori Bush has always been and will continue to be — because St. Louis built her, brick by brick.###

Cori Bush Celebrates Endorsements from Jewish Voice for Peace Action and Progressive Jews of STL

<h4>The costs of housing, groceries, health care, utility bills, and other everyday expenses keep climbing — while good jobs vanish and wages stay the same. Families are being priced out of St. Louis, and too many people remain unhoused or struggle to put food on the table.&nbsp; </h4><h4>We need a life that everyday people can afford. We need to make sure healthcare is affordable, healthy food is accessible in every neighborhood, and union jobs exist for workers of every skill set. </h4><ul><li>I’ll continue expanding opportunities for St. Louis. Emerging technologies are transforming our economy faster than workers and communities can adapt. As automation and AI accelerate, many people are being pushed out of stable careers while corporations profit enormously. Unemployment is rising at an alarming pace, leaving people across nearly every sector feeling left behind. Black and brown workers, in particular, are exiting the workforce in disproportionate rates, often facing the toughest barriers to re-entry and advancement. This moment demands real action: technology should enhance human potential, not replace it, and innovation must be paired with responsibility, equitable opportunity, and respect for worker’s dignity.</li><li>I’ll continue fighting for Medicare for All. I championed Medicare for All, co-sponsoring key legislation and advocating for treating universal health care as a basic human right. As a nurse for many years, I’ve seen patients ration medicine or skip treatment because they couldn’t afford it. I’ve seen people die because corporations prioritized profits over lives. I know what it’s like to be uninsured. No one should have to choose between their life and their bank account.</li><li>I’ll continue advocating for utilities to be recognized as a human right. To make sure utilities remain accessible and affordable, I introduced the Utilities as a Human Right Resolution. This legislation positions water, electricity, heating, cooling, broadband, and transit as basic human rights that should be treated as such.</li><li>I’ll continue fighting for more affordable housing and ensure everyone has guaranteed access to shelter. In Congress, I persistently brought up the issue of affordable housing. I introduced the Unhoused Bill of Rights, a plan to end the housing crisis by building more homes, providing universal vouchers, and expanding funding for shelters, social services, and permanent emergency rental assistance. I led a historic sleep-in on the U.S. Capitol steps, successfully extending the eviction moratorium for over 11 million people. I’ve kept the conversation going because we need to push for approaches and solutions rooted in human rights.</li></ul>

Lower Costs and Expand Opportunities

<h4>Missouri was the first state in the country to ban abortion after the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturned, Roe v. Wade, and the harm it continues to cause is devastating. Stripping people of their reproductive rights is not just an attack on bodily autonomy; it’s a deliberate way of stoking class warfare and advancing white supremacist ideologies. Vulnerable communities — especially Black women, people with low incomes, and those without access to health care — are most at risk. </h4><ul><li>I won't stop until abortion care is legal everywhere. I'm committed to protecting and expanding abortion because access to comprehensive care includes reproductive care. Following the Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, I introduced three pieces of legislation that would transform how we approach reproductive care, breaking down barriers and strengthening access so everyone can get the reproductive healthcare they need. I champion universal health care and will continue sponsoring landmark pieces of reproductive care legislation that protect and advance health care for all.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul><li>In Congress, I introduced legislation that would guarantee equality of rights under the law for everyone, regardless of gender. This ERA Now Resolution — alongside the Equal Rights Amendment Caucus that I co-founded — works to affirm that the ERA is the 28th Amendment, advancing gender equality under the law. This caucus is now one of the five largest caucuses in Congress, and continues to advance reproductive rights.&nbsp;</li><li>This is personal. I’ve talked before about how and why I chose to terminate my pregnancy after I was sexually assaulted in 1994. That decision was the hardest one I’ve ever made, but it was right for me and it altered the course of my life. I can’t describe the rage I feel now when I think that today’s Supreme Court would have tried to force me, and others like me, to carry our rapist’s child.</li></ul>

Protect Reproductive Freedom

ST. LOUIS, MO — Today, Cori Bush formally announced her campaign to represent Missouri’s First Congressional District, pledging to fight for St. Louis families squeezed by rising costs, broken systems, government abandonment, and anti-democratic attacks from Trump and his billionaire allies.<span class="image video image-center" data-embed="&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/B9-6JebKWGE?si=3DH7-JoBA4s6S0ND&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;" style="width: 74%;"><img imageurl="https://run.imgix.net/b18b9a50-d7c2-433a-88e3-bff51bf74135/0356d62c-ff80-4306-bd7e-5ae91d5a141e/0356d62c-ff80-4306-bd7e-5ae91d5a141e.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C5473%2C3641&amp;w=1500" embedcode="&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/B9-6JebKWGE?si=3DH7-JoBA4s6S0ND&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="37" src="https://run.imgix.net/b18b9a50-d7c2-433a-88e3-bff51bf74135/0356d62c-ff80-4306-bd7e-5ae91d5a141e/0356d62c-ff80-4306-bd7e-5ae91d5a141e.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C5473%2C3641&amp;w=1500" data-embed="&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/B9-6JebKWGE?si=3DH7-JoBA4s6S0ND&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;"><span class="video-button-placeholder" data-embed="&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/B9-6JebKWGE?si=3DH7-JoBA4s6S0ND&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9-6JebKWGE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);">WATCH LAUNCH VIDEO</a>This announcement comes as Washington is mired in crisis, with a government shutdown slashing food assistance, housing support, paychecks, and essential services families rely on to survive. Once again, regular people are paying the price for government dysfunction. The question before us isn’t whether Washington is broken – because it is. The question is whether we send leaders who will take on that broken, failing system and fight to change it. St. Louis deserves a leader who will rise to the moment, call out the chaos, and fight to protect our communities. That’s who Cori Bush is because that’s who Cori Bush has always been.“Right now, we are in the fight of our lives. It isn’t politics as usual, and we can’t afford to operate as such. This is about survival for our families, and the moment is now,” said Cori Bush. “I’m running because Missouri’s First deserves leadership that’s built different. A leader who doesn’t just navigate a broken system, but works to build a better one. A leader who shows up when it’s hardest, who fights for all people, who unifies us with courage, resilience, and love. A leader rooted in the community, lifting the voices too often dismissed, and proving what’s possible when you fight for everyone. That’s who I’ve always been — ten toes down for this district”Bush brings a proven record of delivering for St. Louis into this campaign, which includes:<ul><li>Continuing to show up in crisis even out of office — from<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ7f_V8y8Us/"> tornado recovery efforts</a> to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOM6UwUAIhF/?hl=en">standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Missouri Democrats</a> to protect voting rights.</li><li>Championing economic dignity and health care justice— fighting for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYTVpPnFQy4">Medicare for All</a>, <a href="https://schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-releases/amid-republican-threats-social-security-schakowsky-hoyle-sanders-warren">expanding Social Security</a>, and <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/power-switch/2022/09/15/lets-talk-about-utility-shut-offs-00056875">treating utilities like water and electricity as basic rights </a>so families don’t have to choose between food and keeping the lights on.</li><li>Authoring <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/rep-cori-bush-wants-transform-policing-public-safety-new-bill-n1272490">groundbreaking public safety legislation</a> and <a href="https://x.com/CoriBush/status/1776301328194523639">delivering millions in violence-prevention funds to keep St. Louis neighborhoods safe.</a></li><li>Having worked across the aisle to <a href="https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/politics/national-politics/radiation-victims-win-long-delayed-justice-as-congress-expands-compensation-and-coverage/63-acb11ca5-ae2d-4709-bfcc-cad3fc4f4392">secure RECA compensation</a> for Coldwater Creek victims</li><li>Securing <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/cori-bush-transportation/">millions</a> in disaster relief after devastating floods in 2022, helping communities rebuild.</li><li>Leading a historic sleep-in on the U.S. Capitol steps, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/aug/08/cori-bush-interview-eviction-moratorium">successfully extending the eviction moratorium</a> for over 11 million people</li><li><a href="https://www.legistorm.com/stormfeed/view_rss/2352429/member/3385/title/congresswoman-bush-secures-137m-for-st-louis-local-community-projects.html">Delivering over $40 million in Community Project Funding</a> for Missouri’s First District</li><li>Stands up for human rights everywhere — from St. Louis to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HctYZ14IZA">Puerto Rico</a>, <a href="https://jacobin.com/2023/10/cori-bush-cease-fire-gaza-war-israel-palestinians">Gaza</a>, <a href="https://x.com/RepCori/status/1807875881370567010?lang=en">Haiti</a>, and beyond.</li><li>On her third day in Congress, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cori-bush-legislation-remove-house-members/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">taking immediate action during the January 6 attack</a> to hold members of Congress accountable who helped incite the insurrection.</li><li>Refusing to back away from bold racial justice movements, Bush introduced the <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep-cori-bush-14-trillion-reparations-bill-eliminate/story?id=99390652">Reparations Now Resolution</a>, elevating demands for federal reparations for the enslavement and systemic oppression of Black Americans.</li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RebXsll-awc">Sharing her abortion story</a> in Congress, and introducing several pieces of legislation advancing reproductive rights, including legislation to protect <a href="https://www.stlpr.org/show/st-louis-on-the-air/2023-07-12/cori-bush-fights-to-maintain-access-to-key-abortion-drug-mifepristone">medication abortion</a> access.</li><li>Advocating for the <a href="https://nlihc.org/resource/congresswoman-cori-bush-introduces-unhoused-bill-rights?utm_source=chatgpt.com">rights of the unhoused</a> and <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/whose-streets-our-streets-grants-pass-v-the-people/">against the criminalization of homelessness</a>.</li><li><a href="https://msmagazine.com/2023/03/28/equal-rights-amendment-era-caucus-congress/">Co-chairing the first-ever Congressional Caucus for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) </a>and leading renewed efforts to push for its ratification, arguing that gender equality is foundational to economic, health, and social justice.</li><li>Spearheading bold proposals to <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/cori-bush-reform-supreme-court-watch-democracy-die-rcna161409">reform the Supreme Court,</a> advocating for changes to lifetime appointments, term limits, and accountability to protect democracy.&nbsp;</li><li><a href="https://truthout.org/articles/cori-bush-shares-her-experience-with-gun-violence-in-an-abusive-relationship/">Closing the “boyfriend loophole”</a> to protect survivors of domestic abuse from gun violence with its inclusion in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.</li></ul>“For me, it has never been about a title.

Cori Bush Announces Campaign for U.S. Congress in MO-01

<h4>Safety is a public health emergency. Every person deserves to feel safe in St. Louis. But today, that’s not our reality. Institutions that promote safety are under attack. Programs that help our residents are being defunded and dismantled. Our judicial system continues to punish rather than support. We need care, not criminalization. We deserve access to institutions that foster health and well-being for everyone.&nbsp; </h4><h4>As your Congresswoman, I'll continue pushing to transform public safety, confront the climate crisis, address the gun violence epidemic, and protect survivors of violence. </h4><ul><li>I’ll work on additional legislation and resources to combat gun violence. Stopping mass shootings and the crisis of gun violence needs a champion, and I'll continue to be at the forefront of this fight. I helped pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — the first major gun violence bill in decades. A huge step forward for victims of domestic violence, this law closes the “Boyfriend Loophole,” which lets people convicted of domestic violence keep their guns if they aren’t married or living with their partners. But we have so much more work to do. In Congress, I’ll focus on curbing the flow of guns into our communities and address the root causes of violence. I’ll continue bringing home money to St. Louis to combat and respond to these tragedies, responding directly to the heartbreak in our neighborhoods’ fabric that bullets pierce.</li><li>I’ll continue to fight Big Pharma to lower prescription drug costs. Senator Bernie Sanders and I pressured Eli Lilly to cut insulin prices, and we won. I introduced a bill to cap insulin at $20 a vial. I’ll continue fighting for this in Congress and I’ll go further by supporting Medicare drug negotiations, cracking down on price gouging, and breaking up monopolies.&nbsp;</li><li>I’ll continue holding those responsible accountable for the nuclear contamination and pollution they caused. In my position, I worked to make sure my district was cared for, steering our priorities to promote clean energy and safe environments. I introduced policies that held federal agencies accountable and improved access to affordable utilities. I co-introduced the Environmental Justice Mapping and Data Collection Act, which was part of the most consequential piece of climate legislation ever passed: the Inflation Reduction Act. Locally, we acted on environmental issues that are very harmful to the community, delivering funding for waste management and contamination cleanup efforts at local spots like Coldwater Creek.&nbsp;</li><li>I helped write the People’s Response Act. This legislation would help transform how we keep communities safe, creating a new public safety division inside the Department of Health and Human Services. We desperately need it built around inclusive community needs and public health. These policies and reforms would prevent harm, strengthen communities, and end the incentives behind for-profit incarceration. I’ll continue advancing legislation like this to transform what safety in our community looks like.</li><li>For too long, safety has meant prisons, punishment, and surveillance. It’s a system that has been failing Black and Brown communities. The United States is the world leader in incarceration. Here in St. Louis, we feel the impact of this every day. In our district, police have led the nation in civilian killings for nearly a decade — including the killing of Michael Brown in 2014. I co-wrote the Helping Families Heal Act with Lezley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, to set aside $100 million for community and school-based programs that will help people who have experienced, witnessed, or been in proximity to police violence to receive the counseling they need.&nbsp;</li><li>I’ll continue to ensure that public safety is a top priority. In my capacity as a leader on Congressional Committees, I shared personal stories and became the voice for the voiceless. I was appointed to the powerful House Judiciary Committee, named Vice Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, and served as a member on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. These experiences gave me a platform to offer Washington perspectives they hadn’t been exposed to before.</li><li>I introduced the first resolution in Congress to set a baseline on reparations for descendants of enslaved people. The legacy of the Transatlantic Slave Trade lives on today. This resolution makes it clear that the federal government has a moral and legal duty to repair the harm from slavery, Jim Crow, the War on Drugs, mass incarceration, lynchings, and race massacres. It calls for a holistic approach to support descendants by providing solutions that address segregation, restitution, rehabilitation, and justice.</li></ul>

ST. LOUIS, MO — This week, Cori Bush reaffirmed her commitment to transformation-driven leadership that emphasizes her community centered values and puts people first — through landmark media coverage, strong endorsements, and bold organizing.

Cori Bush Champions a Hopeful Vision & Path Forward with Slate, Endorsements, and “No Kings” Rally

<h4>Our nation faces relentless attacks from Trump’s administration. This isn’t politics as usual — his allies are putting everything they’ve got to tear us apart, destroy our spirits, and disrupt our ways of life. We need leaders who believe and know what's possible when we fight for everyone.</h4><ul><li>I’ll fight to abolish ICE and protect our communities from rogue, federal agencies. Immigrants have a right to pursue the American dream. I'll defend our rights, ensuring that everyone feels safe in St. Louis. I'll hold agencies like these accountable, preventing actions that violate basic rights.&nbsp;</li><li>I’ll demand that Congress provide oversight and limits on executive power. As federal agencies and politicians get more money and power, it is essential to fight back. On my third day in Congress, I took immediate action during the January 6 attack by holding members who helped incite the insurrection accountable. While barricaded in my office with my staff, I introduced a resolution to investigate and expel the Republican members of Congress who helped incite the mob.&nbsp;</li><li>I’ll stand up to MAGA Republicans trying to tear down our democracy and take away our rights. I’ll keep pushing for legislation that protects our rights and votes. I won’t stop fighting for the Inclusive Democracy Act and the IDs for an Inclusive Democracy Act that would ensure every American has what they need to cast their ballot. No one should lose their voice or rights because of the legal system.</li><li>I’ll continue advocating for bold proposals to reform the U.S. Supreme Court. I support changes to lifetime appointments, term limits, and accountability. We need a leader in Washington who knows how the system works and who will make legislative decisions that benefit the people.</li></ul>

After filling, Cori spoke to the enthusiasm that the people of St. Louis have had for her grassroots campaign that takes no money from corporate PACs, in contrast to her opponent's billionaire-backed candidacy. Cori explained: "The tide has already turned, and people are saying no&nbsp;— they want to be the ones to pick their representatives. And so, whether that money filters into the community or not, I think the community is also going to call out any candidate who is accepting that money."Later that day,&nbsp;Cori joined fellow Congressional candidate Hartzell Gray, Missouri State Representative&nbsp;Ray Reed,&nbsp;Missouri State&nbsp;Representative&nbsp;Jeremy Dean,&nbsp;former St. Louis 11th Ward Alderman and Missouri House of Representatives candidate&nbsp;Jimmy Lappe, Columbia City Council Member Vera Elwood, and many more for the&nbsp;'No MO' Fascism&nbsp;Rally' in Jefferson City.

Cori spoke to the crowd: "...Missouri says no more fascism. No more fascism because we don’t have to allow it to happen in our communities, in our towns, in our cities — regardless of what part of the state you live in, Missouri does not belong to the fascists. Missouri belongs to the people."

He’s someone that was basically placed there to quiet Cori Bush, placed there to stop a movement, placed there because they didn’t want someone speaking out for the people of Palestine, speaking out for human rights and civil rights.

Congresswoman Cori Bush Joins Democracy Now! and The Breakfast Club

<h4>Every person deserves to live in safety and dignity. That is why I have stood — and will always stand — in solidarity with the Palestinian people.&nbsp; </h4><h4>What is happening in Gaza is genocide. It is carried out by the Israeli government, and it is backed by U.S. weapons and U.S. dollars. This is not who St. Louis is, and it is not who I am. Our struggles are connected. When I was in Ferguson demanding justice for Michael Brown, it was Palestinian organizers who stood with us, who showed us how to withstand tear gas and face the violence of the state. That solidarity changed me then, and it drives me now.</h4><ul><li>In Congress, I introduced and led the #CeasefireNOW resolution. The #CeasefireNOW resolution called for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation in the conflict between Israel and armed groups in Palestine. I stayed committed and held fast to my beliefs, not bowing down to the powers that be and instead, raising my voice even louder for Palestinians.&nbsp;</li><li>I spoke up when others turned away. I listened to our Palestinian-American neighbors here in St. Louis who were grieving as their families were killed by bombs funded with our tax dollars. I refused to stay quiet and rallied support, helping give others the confidence to speak up against Israel and foreign actors like the Israeli lobby AIPAC. So they came for me and my voice, pouring the $9 million that bought the election. But I resist and persist because everyone is entitled to freedom and justice and I will fight for it, whatever the cost.&nbsp;</li><li>I’ll continue fighting to ensure the U.S. stops the flow of weapons to the Israeli government. I advocate for an end to our nation’s extensive military aid and arms transfers to Israel, aiming to stop the militarization of the conflict.&nbsp;We must withdraw our consent for genocide and end U.S. military funding to Israel.&nbsp;</li><li>I’ll continue speaking out against the occupation in all its forms and demand an end to the seizure of Palestinian land in the West Bank. I’m committed to advocating for solutions and actions that will de-escalate and bring peace to the area. I stand firm in the truth that human rights do not stop at the borders of Palestine. Together, when we rise and speak with one voice for justice, we can move mountains. That is our role in this moment for Palestine. And it is the mantle I will take up once again in Washington, as St. Louis’ Congresswoman.</li></ul>

If you’re looking for someone willing to challenge corporate power, confront the influence of big money in politics, and consistently center the needs of working people, Cori Bush has a clear record.

Bush wrote&nbsp;in the&nbsp;statement, "I am devastated on behalf of all the families who have been displaced by the demolition of six Florissant homes built on soil contaminated by hazardous waste in Coldwater Creek. Although I am grateful for the Army Corps of Engineers both for committing to carrying out this cleanup process safely and for compensating the affected families, the necessity of these demolitions shows just how severe the radioactive contamination has been allowed to become over the course of generations of neglect." "In this time of both pain for the families who are now seeing their homes demolished and hope for a future for their communities where the long-lasting effects of the Coldwater Creek radioactive site no longer plague St. Louis County, my top priority is, as always, to reduce the harm caused by the federal government’s failure to protect local residents from harmful radioactive waste exposure and advocate for those who have been affected. I applaud the work of The North County Community Advisory Group and other local activists who have spent years organizing to protect their communities from the effects of the contamination. I will continue to advocate for those who have suffered from rare cancers, autoimmune disorders, and other illnesses as a result of decades of improperly stored radioactive waste. We all deserve a St. Louis where our communities can thrive, where we have clean air, clean water, and where we don’t have to fear for our health deteriorating as a result of institutionalized neglect for our well-being." "I am hopeful that this next phase of the cleanup process will serve to benefit the Missourians whose lives and families have suffered the effects of this preventable health crisis. The buildings being torn down are not just buildings. They are homes where residents have grown up, raised their children, and built their lives. Their needs must be at the forefront of any effort to create a safer environment for St. Louis residents."Over the past decade, Cori Bush has worked tirelessly to help St. Louis recover from the devastating impacts of radioactive waste contamination. In office, she worked with local advocates and championed landmark legislation to advance environmental justice including the <a href="https://coribush.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4acfd2ace00d1b18a69659857&amp;id=2adb3375c7&amp;e=847c30f8af" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Environmental Justice Mapping and Data Collection Act of 2021</a>. Her efforts secured millions in funding to clean up waste and contamination, expanded benefits provided by RECA, and installed warning signs to alert residents of the dangers of the radioactive waste near the creek. This year, she is running for Congress to continue to advocate for the health and well-being of the people of St. Louis and to ensure that every member of our community lives in an environment where they can thrive.

Congresswoman Bush Celebrates Endorsement from CAIR Action, Op-Ed in Out in STL

St. Louis, MO — Today, Cori Bush proudly announced the endorsement of Justice Democrats, a progressive federal political action committee powered by grassroots donations.“We have proudly been with Cori since she first decided to run for Congress in 2017 because she is a fighter.” said Alexandra Rojas, Executive Director of Justice Democrats. “Since then, she has redefined what it means to bring true urgency and power for poor and working people to Washington. She is one of the most working class voices we’ve had in Congress and now more than ever St. Louis and our nation needs more voices of conscience who are going to stand up for what’s right for all people. That couldn’t be clearer while this district is represented by politicians like Wesley Bell who will bend to Trump’s donors and the billionaire class that has ushered in the authoritarianism and corporate greed we see now.”&nbsp;&nbsp;“I am thrilled to receive the endorsement of Justice Democrats. JD was instrumental in my election to Congress, and their mission of electing working class candidates to meet this moment and fight for justice is more urgent now than ever.” said Congresswoman Cori Bush. “We are facing a fascist in the White House attacking our rights and freedoms and a cost of living crisis that means people in St. Louis and all over can’t afford to survive. Congress is beholden to oligarchs and corporate elites – we need to rebuild a bloc of fighters for the people. I cannot wait to return to Washington to help lead this restoration. This race will be a battle– the people vs. money. I am excited to have JD in our corner as we build a St. Louis where everyone can thrive”Cori recently <a href="https://www.coribush.org/launch-press-release/">announced</a> her<a href="https://www.coribush.org/"> re-election campaign </a>to represent Missouri’s First Congressional District earlier this month, pledging to fight for St. Louis families squeezed by rising costs, broken systems, government abandonment, and anti-democratic attacks from Trump and his billionaire allies.&nbsp;###

Congresswoman Cori Bush to Join Rally Against Fascism in Jefferson City

ST. LOUIS, MO — This morning, news broke of the passing of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, a lifelong champion of social, racial, and economic justice. Jackson spent his life dedicated to freedom, justice, and equality for all people. As the founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, he leaves behind a legacy of more than half a century of organizing and activism for a truly just world. In response to this news, Congresswoman Cori Bush released the following statement:"I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson. Reverend Jackson spent his life as a dedicated advocate, organizer, and changemaker who played an irreplaceable role in the struggle for civil rights. His lifetime of service in registering voters, organizing direct action protests, and educating generations of leaders serves as an inspiration for those of us here in St. Louis, across the country, and around the world who carry on his movement to advance the human rights of all people.""Reverend Jackson’s lifetime of activism touched many lives, including my own. When I was a child, my father volunteered for Reverend Jackson’s presidential campaigns. I saw how his candidacy resonated with people from all walks of life as he created a multiracial coalition to champion civil rights, human rights, and human dignity. Reverend Jackson and I met for the first time when he came to Ferguson and stood alongside us as we protested for justice after the killing of Michael Brown. Years later, Reverend Jackson stood with our movement again at the US Capitol steps, when I led activists and other members of Congress as we put our bodies on the line, camping outside for four nights in a row to extend the federal residential eviction moratorium and keep millions of people in their homes. As I got to know Reverend Jackson over the years, time and time again, his dedication to the struggle for human rights served as an inspiration to myself and so many others as we stood on the shoulders of leaders like him, working to build a future where our country lives up to its highest ideals.""What struck me most about Reverend Jackson was his ceaseless desire to support and encourage the next generation of leadership in our movement for freedom and equality. He laid the foundation for us to follow in his footsteps, and the example he set showed us what it means to take action to continue the fight for justice for all in our own lives. As he grew older, he never stopped using his presence and his voice to uplift activists and organizers who had begun to do the work that we learned to do by watching him and so many other civil rights leaders. I am incredibly grateful to have Reverend Jackson as an example of what a leader can be. At the time of his passing, my condolences go out to his family and anyone whose life was touched by his leadership and his bravery. May we honor him not just in our words, but in our actions, too."

Statement from Congresswoman Bush on the Passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson

ST. LOUIS, MO — Today, <a href="https://coribush.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4acfd2ace00d1b18a69659857&amp;id=d30ef66325&amp;e=847c30f8af" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Nurses United</a> (NNU), the largest union of registered nurses in the United States, announced its endorsement of Congresswoman Cori Bush for re-election in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. While in office, Bush fought for patients and health care workers alike by being one of the strongest advocates for Medicare for All and protecting the rights of workers to organize. Now, as she campaigns to win her seat back, NNU has endorsed the Congresswoman for a second time so she can continue her work to fix our broken health care system and build one that puts people over profit.“I am incredibly proud to once again be endorsed by National Nurses United,”&nbsp;Said Congresswoman Cori Bush. “As the largest union of registered nurses in the country, NNU and I share a vision for a future where all of St. Louis has quality health care under a Medicare for All system, has their reproductive freedom protected, and can enjoy a healthy environment with clean water and clean air. I am honored to stand side by side with NNU as we fight for good-paying union jobs, equitable pay, and safe working conditions.”“As a nurse, I saw just how broken our health care system is. Corporate greed and special interests prevent patients from getting the care that they desperately need. Far too many people are left behind and forced to choose between suffering the financial burden that comes with receiving care or skipping treatments altogether because the costs are too high. In Congress, I’ll partner with NNU to ensure that our health care system works for everyone — patients and health care workers alike.”“NNU is proud to endorse Cori Bush, a nurse and talented organizer, to Missouri’s 1st Congressional District,” said NNU President Mary Turner, RN. “While in office, Cori was steadfast in upholding nurses’ values of health care for all, reproductive freedom, clean air and water in our communities, and good-paying union jobs. This election is critical for our patients and the future of our health care. That’s why nurses are standing with Cori, a fighter who is ready to take on powerful special interests in Congress.”The Congresswoman adds NNU to her growing list of endorsers as she campaigns to win back her seat in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. Bush looks forward to working closely with NNU after she returns to Congress to take on the biggest challenges facing St. Louis’s nurses and patients.###This news comes as Representative Bush fights to take back her seat in Missouri's 1st District. Bush is campaigning to bring the values of St. Louis to DC, demanding an economy that works for everyone, a healthcare system that puts people over profit, and a vision for the future that rebukes President Trump’s moral bankruptcy. In this political moment, everyday people deserve leaders who are not afraid to fight for them.

National Nurses United Endorses Congresswoman Cori Bush for Re-Election in Missouri’s 1st District

ST. LOUIS, MO — Last night, public filings submitted to the Federal Election Commission show that Congresswoman Cori Bush outraised her opponent in the race to take back Missouri’s 1st District. Her opponent received less than ten thousand dollars in small dollar donations, a stark contrast to the grassroots donor base cultivated by Cori for Us, comprising 83% of her overall donors. The <a href="https://www.coribush.org/news/congresswoman-cori-bush-raises-525000-grassroots-dollars-in-first-three-months-of-campaign">Congresswoman raised more than $525,000 in the final three months of last year</a>. In response to this news, Congresswoman Cori Bush released the following statement: “Our grassroots movement has outraised my opponent, despite him being awash with corrupt cash provided by a collection of Big Oil, Big Pharma, and Pro-Israel PACs. This is a clear sign of the enthusiasm behind sending a fighter for St. Louis back to Washington who refuses to take any money from corporate or rightwing lobbies.Last election, tens of millions of dollars were poured into St. Louis by corporate PACs to unseat me. In 2025, my opponent has taken money from BlackRock, who is pricing families out of homeownership; MAGA oligarch-owned Blue Origin; and numerous other large corporations that exploit our communities. This includes taking checks from some of ICE’s largest contractors, Enterprise and AT&amp;T, as well as from war profiteers like Lockheed Martin and Leidos, both complicit in genocide. St. Louis’ future will not be dictated by MAGA or corporate interests. We’re a district that’s always put people first and we’re not for sale. St. Louis is ready for change.”&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/CoriBush/status/2017328516648296689"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/b18b9a50-d7c2-433a-88e3-bff51bf74135/0c18d3de-4558-4d59-ba49-e19b31c94501/0c18d3de-4558-4d59-ba49-e19b31c94501.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C572%2C894&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="base"></a>“<a href="https://x.com/CoriBush/status/2017328516648296689?s=20" style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);">St. Louis is excited for Cori Bush to take back her seat”</a> ### This news comes as Representative Bush fights to take back her seat in Missouri’s 1st District.
