John, it’s official: we have just one day left to save Rep. Cori Bush’s seat in Congress from a phony Democratic challenger taking millions from AIPAC and other far-right megadonor groups.
At this point, our opponents have spent more than $13.5 million across Missouri’s 1st district attacking Cori with lies and making her opponent out to be something he’s not: a progressive champion for the people of St. Louis.
Wesley Bell claims he’s a Ferguson activist, but the truth is, he’s the prosecutor who made broken promises to Michael Brown’s family and the community of Ferguson to climb the political ladder and then failed to hold Darren Wilson accountable or create real reform.
But Cori? Cori is the real deal. A nurse, pastor, and community activist, Cori has the experience in both the St. Louis community and in Congress to back up the fact that she’s a true champion for working people, criminal justice reform, and human rights. As Bernie Sanders put it:
“She has lived the struggles regular, everyday people endure and her mission since being elected is to do the very most for her community — starting with those who have the very least.”
As we approach the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown’s death at the hands of police, Cori has released her final ad of this campaign to give Michael’s family a platform and set the record straight on Bell’s broken promises. The powerful ad is making waves, as noted by Politico:
If we want to achieve justice and progress for all, we can’t let a liar and hypocrite like Bell replace one of our fiercest progressive voices in Congress.
Cori is being dramatically outspent by Republican millionaires and corporate special interests who want to see Bell defeat her, so we’re coming to you in these final 24 hours of the primary to ask for your much-needed grassroots support.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
