Former Congresswoman Cori Bush has announced that she wants her old job back. She’s running again in Missouri’s 1st District after losing her seat in the Democratic primary last year. This is bad news for anyone who believes in the Constitution, personal responsibility, and the rule of law. Her brand of extreme, far-left politics has already done enough damage. We don’t need more of it.
Bush calls herself a fighter for “social justice” and “economic equality.” But what she really means is more government control and less freedom for the American people. During her time in Congress, she supported defunding the police, expanding welfare programs, and pushing radical environmental policies that would eliminate American energy jobs. She did not stand for the working class. She stood with the loudest activists and against the values that built this country.
Let’s not forget, Cori Bush was part of the so-called “Squad”—a group of far-left lawmakers who often seemed more interested in tearing down America than building it up. They pushed policies that would increase taxes, destroy traditional values, and weaken our nation’s borders. Bush voted with them every step of the way. She didn’t represent the hardworking families of Missouri. She represented the socialist fringe.
One of her most dangerous ideas was to defund the police. In a time when crime was rising across America, Bush wanted to take money away from law enforcement. That would have left families in cities like St. Louis even more vulnerable. Meanwhile, she spent thousands of dollars on private security for herself. That’s not leadership. That’s hypocrisy.
Bush also supported the Green New Deal, a sweeping plan that would cripple our economy in the name of climate change. It would destroy jobs in coal, oil, and gas—industries that keep our lights on and our cars running. All while costing taxpayers trillions of dollars. That plan had nothing to do with protecting the environment and everything to do with expanding federal power.
On economic issues, Bush pushed for universal basic income and more federal handouts. But when government gives out free money, it always comes at a price—higher taxes, more inflation, and less personal freedom. Real prosperity comes from hard work, free markets, and strong families—not from government dependency.
Bush has now launched a comeback campaign, claiming that “St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different.” But we’ve already seen what she’s built. She built a record of division, extremism, and failed policies. Missouri voters rejected that once, and they should reject it again.
The people of Missouri’s 1st District deserve better. They deserve a representative who will protect their rights, defend their communities, and fight for American values. They need someone who believes in the Constitution, not someone who wants to rewrite it. Someone who supports police officers, not someone who undermines them. Someone who wants to grow the economy, not someone who wants to control it.
This election isn’t just about one seat in Congress. It’s about the direction of our country. If we allow people like Cori Bush to return to power, we risk losing the very principles that make America exceptional—freedom, faith, and family. She may call it progress, but it’s really just more government overreach and less liberty.
Let’s not be fooled by her slogans or her promises. We’ve seen what her leadership looks like. It’s time to move forward, not backward. Missouri needs strong, common-sense leaders who will stand up for the Constitution. Cori Bush is not that leader. She is a threat to everything conservatives hold dear.
We must stand firm and speak clearly: No more radical experiments. No more socialist agendas. And no more Cori Bush.
