POLITICAL POWERHOUSE
-
With less than two years in office, the Missouri Congresswoman is changing the status quo of who gets heard on Capitol Hill. Bush shares the issues she's focused on so that you-and everyone can work together toward change.
On being the first Black woman from Missouri and the first Black Lives Matter activist elected to Congress...
"When I was running for office, I made the decision to be very vulnerable and vocal about my journey to get here, helping people understand that you don't have to come from a particular background to be in politics. You don't have to be wealthy or come from a special family...to get into this work and be successful. I've...gone through domestic violence and sexual assault and lived out of my car, [and worked] as a low-wage worker, and yet I'm seated here in Congress."
On addressing America's mental health crisis...
"Our country is in crisis in that we currently have law enforcement showing up to 911 calls when they are not the most equipped folks to show up. We've been working on a bill that we're hoping to pass this year called The People's Response Act.
