Cori Bush open to another office run: ‘Possibilities are endless’

Outgoing Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) She said that she would be open to running for office again in the future. The two-term legislator will continue to work on the issues that she was focused on before she even stepped on Capitol Hill.

“The possibilities are infinite.” “I am not going anywhere,” is all I can say right now. “I’m going keep fighting for issues I fought before I entered Congress and since I have been in Congress,” Bush stated in an interview published by Politico Magazine on Wednesday.

“Running for another office is still on the table.” “I didn’t expect to be in Congress only for four years. I believe that at some point, whether for Congress or for something else, I’m not sure,” she said.

“I have no plans at the moment, but I’m not ruling it out,” said the progressive Democrat. But I’ll organize myself and continue to work on the issues I began with before I was elected to Congress.

Join the Fight against Evil

Ever since the serpent entered the Garden of Eden, evil has fought to overcome good. What we’ve seen infecting America these last few years is an extension of that evil. The Coalition for Jewish Values is fighting all these fronts—from Pennsylvania Avenue—to main street—to anywhere common sense and Biblical Values are under attack. Will you stand with us in this fight?.

Bush, who was the representative of Missouri’s 1st Congressional District at the House, did not win a third term. Early in August, Wesley Bell, the St. Louis prosecuting attorney, defeated her in the primary. Outside groups spent a lot of money in this race, and pro-Israel groups were the biggest spenders. Bush has been critical about Israel’s fight against the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Rep. Jamaal BOWMAN (D-N.Y.), who was seated in Congress by Westchester County executive George Latimer, a Democrat in late June, was another blow for the progressive “squad”.

Bush and Bowman both joined the “squad,” after they won their respective House elections in 2020. The group’s membership is on the decline after their primary losses in 2010. Bush said that the remaining “squad’ of lawmakers in Congress — including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. — will continue to “fight for those who are most in need.”

The squad will continue to fight. The squad is large. “I know that we would like to limit the squad to a small group, but this is not something we do alone,” said the activist for racial equality.

The numbers for the 119th Congress will be lower, but they’ll still fight for those who are in the most need. Bush stated that they would not change their beliefs and priorities. “The team’s size will be reduced.” They’ve never been quiet. We are not going anywhere and I’ll always be the squad. Anyone who underestimates us is wrong. “I’m not going very far.”
