Wesley Bell and former Rep. Cori Bush sparred in a joint radio appearance over who had done the most to help St. Louis residents after a pair of devastating natural disasters ripped through the community.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=8328\">Trump\u2019s mail voting appeal tests Supreme Court\u2019s anti-chaos election rule<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Bell described how, after a tornado hit the district in May 2025, he reached out to every member of the state\u2019s mostly Republican delegation to get millions in funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Bush said that after the district was hit with flooding in 2022, she took a different approach to draw resources: hitting TV, radio and the internet.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI\u2019ve been criticized for wanting to be on TV a lot, but when I\u2019m on TV I\u2019m talking about St. Louis, because that\u2019s how people know,\u201d she said. \u201cThe more you speak about it, the more the urgency is there, and the awareness.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The back-and-forth highlighted a key debate between the two Missouri Democrats ahead of their Tuesday rematch, one of several races this election cycle testing what kind of fighter the party wants to see in office. In Michigan, where Democrats are hoping to hold onto a key US Senate seat, Rep. Haley Stevens has framed herself as a \u201cworkhorse\u201d to progressive Abdul El-Sayed\u2019s celebrity in another Tuesday primary, while her opponent has criticized the millions in outside funding helping her campaign.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But the Missouri 1st Congressional District primary is one of the rare examples in which voters can directly compare the records of lawmakers \u2014 a progressive who relies on the bully pulpit and a more moderate Democrat who runs as a pragmatist.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Bush, who beat 20-year incumbent Rep. Lacy Clay in 2020, made waves in her first months in office when she slept on the steps of the US Capitol to protest an expiration of a federal eviction moratorium. She also angered some Democrats and union members when she was among six progressive lawmakers who voted against a bipartisan infrastructure bill in a bid to pass President Joe Biden\u2019s social spending legislation.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Bell, a former St. Louis County prosecutor, defeated Bush in the 2024 primary, in which he pointed to the infrastructure vote and was boosted by $8.5 million from United Democracy Project, a super PAC allied with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The group has spent more than $3 million backing Bell\u2019s reelection bid, according to campaign finance records.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Bush\u2019s reemergence comes as a growing number of far-left Democrats backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and Justice Democrats, which supports challenges to Democrats who accept corporate PAC money, have won upset victories in primaries across the country. Several races, including the one between Bush and Bell, have pitted staunch allies of Israel against critics of the country\u2019s actions in the war in Gaza.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cCori Bush was the model for what it looks like to be a fighter for your community as a member of Congress,\u201d Usamah Andrabi, a spokesperson for Justice Democrats, said of Bush, the group\u2019s first recruit.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Bush and other progressives such as Melat Kiros, who defeated Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado and campaigned with Bush on Sunday, have argued that establishment Democrats are failing to do everything they can to defeat President Donald Trump\u2019s agenda.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s a stark turnaround from two years ago, when Bush and former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a progressive Democrat from New York, lost to United Democracy Project-backed candidates.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe may have lost the seats, but we didn\u2019t lose, because the movement grew quickly,\u201d Bush said. \u201cOne of the things that was very tough when I was in Congress last time was that there just was not enough of us \u2026 but now we have a new team.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"US Reps.

Bell has emphasized that she missed nearly 250 House votes during her four years in Congress, accused her of being inaccessible to voters and businesses in the district, and criticized her campaign spending, including payments to her husband for security services that were the subject of a Justice Department investigation.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe bottom line is, elections are local, and folks here on the ground know that when she was in office, not only did she not do the job, she didn\u2019t show up for the job,\u201d Bell told CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Members of Congress are allowed to use campaign funds to pay family members for providing services to the campaign if the payments don\u2019t exceed fair market value. Bush has said she entrusted her husband with her security after facing multiple threats and has denied any wrongdoing. She said \u201cnothing came of\u201d the Justice Department investigation and that the Office of Congressional Conduct dismissed its investigation of her campaign spending. The Justice Department has not given a public update on its investigation into the matter. Bush said she missed several votes in Congress because of two bouts of Covid-19 and a funeral.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Bush has argued that Bell is the one who doesn\u2019t have a record to run on. She pointed to her work on eviction protections, as well as her work with Sen. Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican, on getting funding for Missouri residents under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Some in the district have criticized Bell for not doing enough to get more funding in the wake of last year\u2019s tornado.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cCori Bush would be sleeping on the steps of the White House if she needed to, to make sure that Washington, DC, understood that we had a tornado here,\u201d said Megan Green, the president of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen. \u201cI think because he doesn\u2019t have that organizer background or that activist background, he\u2019s just not willing to use the bully pulpit in the way that it needs to be used to get resources home.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Damaged trees are seen in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 16, 2025, after severe storms swept through the city.\" class=\"wp-image-8335\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2f044e7b0b902d8e50e552abe0a73b55.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2f044e7b0b902d8e50e552abe0a73b55.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2f044e7b0b902d8e50e552abe0a73b55-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Damaged trees are seen in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 16, 2025, after severe storms swept through the city.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Michael Phillis\/AP<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Like other primary battles between different strains of Democrats, the Missouri rematch has at times become personal.
