ST. LOUIS — For U.S. Rep. Cori Bush, the campaign trail has led to the altar.
Bush's office reported Sunday that "this month," the St. Louis Democrat married Cortney Merritts — a security specialist who was paid more than $62,000 by Bush's campaign in 2022.
A press statement from Bush chief of staff Abbas Alawieh noted that Bush and Merritts have been partners "since before her Congressional tenure and is not employed by her Congressional office."
