3 days to go.

John,   I know you’ve been hearing from us a lot lately. The fourth quarter FEC filing deadline is in just two days, and it’s the most important deadline of our campaign: everyone from pundits to individual donors will assess the fundraising numbers we f…

Thousands more to go.

John,   We’re back to finish what we started last year: to create a Congress that’s representative of the people, where the voices of the people are heard, and where Big Money corporate interests no longer take precedence over the interests of everyday A…

Happy holidays from Team Cori!

John,    With the holidays upon us, our campaign’s reflecting on all we’ve accomplished in 2019: we’ve grown the coalition we started last year; we’ve rolled out a paid canvasser program that pays a living wage; we’ve knocked on thousands of doors; we’ve…

What your support makes possible

John,   We don’t take our requests for support with a grain of salt. In fact, your contributions have allowed us to do incredible things in 2019, such as reaching more than 15,000 voters!    We have knocked on the doors of 11,000 voters thanks to the fai…

It’s gotta be today.

John,   Let’s get right to the point.   We’re now at the midway point for December and unfortunately, we’re a little behind in our fundraising numbers this month. The Dec. 31 deadline is the most important of our entire campaign, because that’s when we’r…

Amazing! But we need your help.

John,   Since launching our paid canvassing program earlier this week, our canvassers have already reached 2,649 doors in neighborhoods across Missouri’s First District.     Did you know it takes about seven encounters with a potential voter to gain thei…

Black women candidates: our reality.

John,    In the 2018 race for the U.S. House of Representatives, Black women candidates raised less than women and men from every other racial group. In fact, regardless of the type of election, Black women candidates raised the least amount of money acr…

The most important deadline of our campaign.

John,   We’re in the final push of our final quarterly FEC fundraising deadline of the year. In January, people will begin assessing candidates’ viability more earnestly. One way they do that is taking a look at campaign fundraising numbers; strong numbe…

Our society’s vulnerable members need you.

John,    Our movement is laser-focused: not just on large-scale reform in Congress, but on large-scale reform right here in our communities, where many people can’t access basic rights, like security in housing, income, and healthcare.    Some of the mos…

You made this happen!

John,    In October, we asked you to help sponsor a handful of paid team members to knock on doors in MO-01 so that the name Cori Bush could become a household name. Thanks to people like Susan in California; Bruce, a testing engineer from New Jersey; an…

Investing in hope.

John,   I won’t lie, this work is hard.    But I feel empowered to take on the forces that have kept us down when I see a donation from a server in Las Vegas who sends this campaign $25, or the bike shop employee from Florida who sends us $50, and most e…

This U.S. Army Veteran supports Cori Bush for Congress

John,   Some join the military out of a sense of patriotism or duty. Some for action and adventure. Some for a steady job in a depressed economy. I served in the U.S. Army for more than 20 years; I retired in April 2017. The military taught me the meanin…
