Race Update

Voters need to see that as prosecutor, Wesley Bell stood up to Republicans to get progressive reforms and stand up for reproductive rights. As Congressman, he’ll work with Democratic leaders to enact a progressive agenda like protecting abortion rights, enacting commonsense gun reform and passing the child tax credit¹. Cori Bush is out for herself. She’s under federal investigation for misusing taxpayer funds and she’s repeatedly turned her back on our president. She joined with MAGA Republicans in opposing Biden’s infrastructure plan and the child tax credit.

¹ “The expanded child tax credit is projected to help 136,000 Kansas children and 295,000 Missouri children, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a progressive nonprofit that studies taxes. But the proposal falls short of a one-year expansion passed in 2021 that lifted millions of Americans out of poverty.” [Kansas City Star, 1/31/24]
