Public servant. Former St. Louis County Prosecutor. Proud St. Louisan.

Proud to have the endorsement of the Missouri State Council of Fire Fighters.

These hardworking men and women run toward danger to protect our families. As a former union member, I'll always have their backs in Congress.

Thank you for standing with me, @MSCFF_MO.

Our people-powered campaign had an amazing youth canvass kickoff!

My team and I couldn't be more impressed by their energy and dedication to working together and building a better future for St. Louis.

JUST IN: US inflation jumped to 4.2% (y/y) in May —>the highest in 3 years and up from 2.4% in February before the war in Iran.

Higher gas and energy prices drove 60% of the gain. Shelter and food (especially restaurants) also contributed. The monthly increase was 0.5%.

Core inflation (excluding food and energy) was 2.9% —>highest since September

100+ days days of war. $100 billion+ in costs to American families. Gas prices in my district are still near $4 a gallon.

Donald Trump and Republicans got us into this mess with no plan and no exit strategy, and we're left holding the bag.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

I'm honored to be endorsed by the @MOAFLCIO!

As a former union member, this means a lot. Working people built St. Louis, and I'll always have their backs.

Together we'll fight for fair wages, safe workplaces, and every worker's right to organize.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

St. Louis sent me to Congress to fight for them, and that’s my focus every single day.

For families watching grocery and gas prices climb, I'm taking on the corporations and utilities raising your costs.

For seniors, I'm working to move money from Trump's wars into healthcare.

For neighbors in fear, I'm fighting to abolish ICE.

I’m running for re-election to continue this fight on behalf of my constituents.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

Proud to have the backing of the members of @IAFFlocal73!

As a former union member, I know what it means to have labor in your corner. These are the people who run toward danger to keep the St. Louis region safe.

I look forward to keep fighting in Congress for the hardworking folks who keep our communities strong.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

Everyone deserves to live openly, safely, and with full equal rights. But those rights are under attack from an administration determined to roll back progress and target the LGBTQ+ community, including our trans friends and neighbors.

To the LGBTQ+ community in Missouri and across the country: We see you, we love you, and we've got your back.

Happy Pride. 🏳️‍🌈

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

Home of the free, because of the brave.

Today, we honor the men and women who gave their lives serving this country. Let us remember the sacrifice they and their families made, and reaffirm our commitment to taking care of those who fight for us.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

Great news for St. Louis! A new $30M federal grant will help modernize Lambert and build out the infrastructure our airport needs to grow.

I'll keep working with everyone, at every level, to bring investment home to St. Louis. That's the job our region sent me to Washington to do.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

January 6 was one of the darkest days in our country's history. We have to name what happened. It was an attempted insurrection. The first time our Capitol was ransacked since 1812. Police officers were beaten and assaulted as they defended the building. Five people died.

As a former prosecutor, I spent my career holding people accountable for violence like that. Now the president wants to hand government reparations to the very people who stormed the Capitol and tried to destroy our democracy. Paying off the mob that attacked our country is shameful. It tears at the moral fabric of who we are as Americans.

We have to be better than this.

Everything is more expensive because of Trump’s tariffs and his war with Iran. 

This Memorial Day won’t be any different. 

Costs are up for your barbecue staples!

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

More than 1,000 emergency calls from ICE detention centers in one year. Suicides at a 20-year high. People held with no idea if they will ever get out.

As a former prosecutor, I know neglect when I see it. ICE must be held abolished, and Congress must investigate this now.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

Republicans pulled a vote to end Trump's illegal war in Iran because they knew it would pass. ​​So what did they do?

On Memorial Day weekend, with gas over $​4/gallon in every state, they ran from it. ​

We need to bring this war to a close, and hold the administration accountable.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

As we kick off Memorial Day weekend, we’re reminded at just how expensive everything is. That’s why my number one priority in Congress is to lower costs for my constituents.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

After a two-year fight, St. Louis cannabis workers at Sinse won their union vote, and the National Labor Relations Board rejected the company's bid to strip their protections.

As a former union member, I know workers win when they stand together.

Congratulations to the workers at Sinse.

One year ago, Donald Trump and House Republicans introduced their One Big Ugly Bill. I voted against it at every opportunity.

Here is what it did to Missouri:
💊 Ripped health care away from hundreds of thousands of people
⚕️ Cut roughly $600 million from our state's health system
🥫 Gutted SNAP, making it harder for families to put food on the table
💰 Piled trillions onto the debt to hand billionaires another tax break

St. Louis families are stuck holding the bill while the wealthy and big corporations continue to cash in.

I am fighting to reverse these cuts and put that money where it belongs: into care for the people who actually need it.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

I'm honored to have the endorsement of Teamsters Local 682.

As a former union member, I know what it means to have workers' backs. I'll keep fighting for fair wages, safe job sites, and the right to organize across the St. Louis region.

[Wesley Bell for Congress @bell4mo]

St. Louis is under a Weather Impact Alert through Tuesday. Severe storms, large hail, damaging winds, flash flooding, and the possibility of tornadoes are all in the forecast.

Two days after the one-year anniversary of the May 16 tornado, this one hits close to home. Please take it seriously​, and check on your neighbors, especially seniors and people with disabilities.

It was an honor to welcome my friend and colleague @JasmineForUS home to St. Louis Saturday night.

Jasmine is one of the most effective fighters in Congress, and she had the St. Louis County Democrats Gala fired up and ready for the fight ahead.
