'Bush defends her record in Congress while Roberts calls for change'
'On a recent Friday evening on St. Louis’ Cherokee Street, Congresswoman Cori Bush is celebrating her birthday along with some of her close legislative friends and diehard supporters.
Flanked by Congresswomen Illhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Bush eventually grabbed the microphone and stirred the crowd when she said:
“They said it was a fluke. Was it a fluke?”
“No!” yelled the crowd.
Aug. 2 will be the ultimate test of whether the 1st Congressional District plans to keep Bush in office for the long haul or replace her with state Sen. Steve Roberts. The contentious Democratic primary includes Roberts challenging Bush’s record and Bush's campaign and her supporters focusing attention on sexual assault allegations against Roberts.'
