Outgoing Representative Cori Bush hinted at her potential return to politics after her current term ends, expressing her unwavering commitment to public service and progressive causes. The Missouri congresswoman, a prominent member of the so-called “Squad,” shared her thoughts on staying engaged in the political arena during a recent interview.
“I don’t see myself stepping away from the fight,” Bush remarked. “There’s always work to be done, and I intend to stay involved, whether it’s in elected office or other forms of advocacy.”
Bush, known for championing progressive policies such as healthcare reform, climate action, and racial justice, has been a vocal and sometimes polarizing figure in Congress. Her tenure has included significant legislative efforts and impassioned speeches on issues she considers central to her mission.
Reflecting on her time in office, Bush expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve her constituents and emphasized the importance of continuing to push for systemic change. While she did not confirm specific plans, she left open the possibility of running for office again in the future. “I’m always ready to serve when the moment calls for it,” she said.
Supporters of Bush have praised her for bringing attention to underrepresented voices and advocating for transformative policies. Critics, however, argue that her approach has sometimes been too divisive, pointing to instances where her rhetoric sparked controversy.
As Bush prepares to leave her current role, she remains committed to the causes she has championed throughout her career. Whether through grassroots activism or a return to public office, she has made it clear that her voice will continue to be a part of the national conversation.
