How To Vote in Missouri

THE ELECTION IS TUESDAY 11/3!

I’m Cori Bush.

I’m a nurse, pastor, single mom, and Ferguson-made activist running to represent MO-01 in U.S. Congress. As a lifelong St. Louisan, I understand the struggles of our communities because I’ve lived them myself. That’s why my platform puts regular, everyday people first, with solutions that are long overdue.

Since 2014, I’ve fought for justice in our communities, and I’m ready to bring the fight from protest to politics. We are living through a history-making moment. When we face unprecedented challenges, we must respond with bold solutions and fearless leadership. I’m running for Congress because I am that champion.

 

Missouri, let’s get you ready to vote!
