Breaking news, John:

Justice Democrats just made our fourth endorsement of the 2026 cycle, and
she’s a familiar face: progressive champion and former Rep. Cori Bush!

[ [link removed] ]Justice Democrats 2026 Endorsed: Cori Bush for U.S. Congress MO-01

Cori became the first-ever Justice Democrat in 2017 during her first
campaign for Congress, and has had Justice Democrats’ support in every
cycle since then.

Now, we’re proud to have Cori’s back again as she takes on AIPAC-backed
Rep. Wesley Bell in a rematch for Missouri’s 1st congressional district.

Democrats and Cori’s people-powered campaign now!

We at Team JD have proudly been with Cori since her first congressional
race in 2017 because she is a fighter. Since then, she has redefined what
it means to bring true urgency and power for poor and working people to
Washington.

During her first run for Congress, Cori was a single mom, registered
nurse, and pastor who played a pivotal role on the frontlines of the Black
Lives Matter movement in Ferguson after the police killing of Michael
Brown. Despite losing her first primary, she came back in 2020 to defeat
an entrenched corporate incumbent, ending a 50-year political dynasty that
had stopped working for the people of St. Louis.

On just her third day in Congress, she took immediate action to hold
members of Congress responsible for inciting the January 6 insurrection
and demanded their expulsion. In her first term, Cori exemplified a new
generation of leadership, introducing visionary legislation like the Green
New Deal for Cities and the People’s Response Act to transform public
safety.

When the national eviction moratorium was going to expire during the
COVID-19 pandemic, Cori slept on the steps of the Capitol until the Biden
administration extended it. In Congress, she became one of the Democratic
Party’s leading voices for abortion rights and reproductive justice, even
testifying with her own abortion story in the House Oversight Committee
and leading a statewide tour to educate Missourians about their abortion
rights in response to the state’s extreme ban.

In the wake of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Cori led the original Ceasefire
Now resolution to demand an immediate ceasefire in Palestine, galvanizing
millions across the world and an overwhelming majority of voters in the US
to demand a ceasefire. Of course, that drew the attention of the powerful
anti-Palestinian lobby.

Last cycle, AIPAC teamed up with corporate-aligned PACs like Crypto’s
Fairshake and Reid Hoffman’s Mainstream Democrats to spend over $12
million to defeat Cori in what was the second-most expensive House primary
ever. Since then, AIPAC’s brand amongst Democratic Party voters and even
establishment Democrats has substantially deteriorated while they
unsuccessfully try to rehabilitate their image as a pro-genocide lobby
that buys politicians.

In this new environment, with the majority of Democratic voters tired of
establishment elected officials like Wesley Bell giving unconditional
support to a genocide, Cori and our movement can take on AIPAC and WIN
this time.

At the end of the day, Cori is one of the most working-class voices we’ve
had in Congress, and now more than ever, St. Louis and our nation need
more voices of conscience who will stand up for what’s right for all
people. That couldn’t be clearer, especially as Wesley Bell has repeatedly
proven he’s willing to bend to Trump’s donors and the billionaire class
that has ushered in the authoritarianism and corporate greed we see now.

rematch next year and send Cori back to Congress: pitch in whatever you
can today →
