ST. LOUIS _ Activist Cori Bush on Tuesday unseated longtime U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay, ending his 20-year hold on Missouri's 1st Congressional District and becoming the first Black woman to represent Missouri in the nation's capital.
Clay narrowly beat Bush in St. Louis County, but Bush won decisively in St. Louis city.
Bush, 44, of Florissant, first challenged Clay in 2018. This year's primary rematch drew national attention as the latest battleground between establishment Democrats and progressive challengers vying to pull the party left.
