The 1st district encompasses the city of St. Louis and much of northern St. Louis County, including Florissant and University City. The incumbent was Democrat Cori Bush, who was elected with 72.9% of the vote in 2022. Bush was considered vulnerable in this race and lost her primary to Wesley Bell.[1]
Democratic primary
The primary, held on August 6, 2024, was the second most-expensive House primary in history, with a record $9 million in spending against Bush from United Democracy Project, AIPAC's super PAC.[2][3] The organization targeted Bush after her criticism of Israel during the Gaza war.[4]
