Cori Bush Secures Key Union Endorsement in Reelection Bid

The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has thrown its significant support behind U.S. Representative Cori Bush, endorsing her for reelection in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. The endorsement serves as a strong signal of the labor movement’s approval of Rep. Bush, whose tenure in Congress has been marked by a steadfast commitment to labor rights, social equity, and the welfare of working-class families.

Representative Bush, who has become a prominent figure in the progressive wing of the Democratic party, is facing a highly competitive primary. Despite the challenges, the endorsement from CWA—a union representing a wide swath of workers in various industries—underscores her appeal among the labor community. CWA cited Bush’s personal journey from a nurse and pastor to a fervent activist and politician as emblematic of her deep understanding and advocacy for the marginalized and underserved.

As the race heats up, this endorsement is a notable boost for Bush’s campaign, highlighting her ongoing efforts to champion policy changes that prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable in society. With the support of CWA, Bush aims to continue representing Missouri’s 1st District, focusing on advancing the cause of working-class Americans both in her district and across the nation.
