Progressive challenger Cori Bush beats Rep. Lacy Clay in primary

Liberal challenger Cori Bush defeated Rep. Lacy Clay in a primary for Clay’s St. Louis-based House seat on Tuesday — a seismic loss for the Congressional Black Caucus, which has tried to snuff out challenges from younger candidates.

Bush’s victory came two years after her first challenge to Clay, which the incumbent won by 20 percentage points. The Black Caucus had successfully defended two other incumbents from progressive opponents earlier this year.But Bush, who participated in the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Mo., after the police shooting of an unarmed black man, made her activism the centerpiece of her 2020 campaign. She worked for Sen.

The Clay family has held a seat in St. Louis since the late 1960s. Clay was first elected in 2000, succeeding his father, former Rep. Bill Clay , a co-founder of the Black Caucus.

There will be plenty of time to print her full name over the course of her term in office as she engages in the work of representing her district. Reporting on the shock of a longtime Democrat congressman’s loss does not make Politico a hack outfit.

Say her name! Professionalize yourself,

One small step for sanity in governance.

Progressives will not be happy until they lose more elections against Republicans

With a name like Lacy Clay, she may be better “suited” for another industry...

Repeats myth that Ferguson turmoil followed 'police shooting of an unarmed black man.' Michael Brown attacked cop seated in car; grabbed cop's handgun. Forensics showed Brown's hand likely ON the gun when first shot fired. Then,charged the officer. Read Obama Justice Dept report.

Hopefully it won’t make it harder to beat the republicans.
