Our Revolution Endorses Cori Bush to Reclaim MO-1:
Our Revolution proudly endorses Cori Bush in her courageous campaign to reclaim Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. Cori has always stood with the people—unapologetically, fearlessly — and now she’s answering the call again in a race that matters for the future of progressive politics.
Why We Support Cori Bush
- Rooted in activism, not special interests. Cori’s journey is built on community struggle. She’s a nurse, pastor, and longtime organizer who was on the frontlines of Ferguson, standing with Black Lives Matter and demanding justice for her community.
- Bold progressive vision. In Congress, Cori championed Medicare for All, cancellation of student debt, expanding reproductive rights, and reallocating resources from policing to people. Her agenda is not incremental—it’s transformative.
- A consistent fighter against corporate influence. Her re-election bid is a stand against the billionaire-backed machine that ousted her from MO-1. In her 2024 primary loss, pro-Israel super PACs poured $8.5+ million into the race to unseat her precisely because she refused to be silenced.
- A mandate to push forward—not retreat. Cori doesn’t move backward. She moves forward. We need leaders who don’t compromise when conditions get tough—and that’s exactly what she’s running to do.
The Stakes Are High
Missouri’s 1st has too often been treated as safe ground for establishment politics. But that’s not good enough when people are crushed by healthcare costs, racial injustice, climate collapse, and widening inequality. The district deserves a representative who will fight for working people—not corporate donors, not talk-show headlines, and not political insiders.
The powerful forces that tried to silence Cori last cycle are mobilizing again. This time, we’re not only going to resist their influence—we’re going to outwork it. We will make this race about people, not PACs or dark money.
What We’ll Do Together
- Mobilize the grassroots. Volunteers across Missouri and the country will knock doors, phonebank, and build relationships with voters who rarely get heard.
- Amplify her message. We’ll spread Cori’s vision through social media, texts, and community forums to counter the billionaire-funded narrative.
- Build a durable movement. This campaign isn’t just about one race—it’s about strengthening the progressive infrastructure in MO-1, inspiring local power, and shifting the balance of power nationally.
Cori’s running again because she knows what we already do: When we organize, we win.
This time, we reclaim MO-1—not for elites, but for working people.
