Black Lives Matter organizer Cori Bush defeated Rep. Lacy Clay in Missouri’s Democratic primary Tuesday night, halting a St. Louis political dynasty

.

In the 2020 rematch, she edged out Clay to win the Democratic nomination for the St. Louis-based district. Bush became involved in political activism in 2014 following the death of Michael Brown in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, joining the protests there. Bush. a minister and nurse, suffered from COVID-19 during the campaign but closed out the race with strong fundraising numbers. Following her recovery from the virus, Bush was an activist participant in the protests that swept the nation following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Bush was endorsed in both 2018 and 2020 by Justice Democrats, the progressive organization that helped propel Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley to victory two years ago. Both Ocasio-Cortez and Bush were featured in the 2019 Netflix documentary “Knock Down The House.”
