Congressman Wesley Bell

Excited to announce St. Louis has been chosen to receive federal funding to strengthen law enforcement and enhance public safety. The funds will go toward helping reduce crime and make our community safer. Public safety is a huge priority of mine, and I’m proud of this win. Let’s keep working to bring even more resources back to our district!

I come from a long line of union workers and leaders, and I know what Dolores Huerta’s work meant to this country. She blazed a trail for working families and was a fearless leader who showed generations what it looks like to stand up for others. Rest in power Dolores.

The Pink Angels have fought for cancer survivors and their families in Missouri for years. It is no surprise to me how they have also stepped up to support RECA survivors and their families. The work they do, especially in North St. Louis County, proves how necessary and valuable it is to have a village supporting folks– even more so when facing their lowest points. I’m proud to stand with and advocate for the Pink Angels. 🩷

Since my Ferguson days I have long been an advocate and proud supporter of the mission and transformative work of EarthDance Farms. Check them out for their 'Pay what you can' farm stand, garden trainings, and more! 🍅🪴

Happy 61st birthday to the Gateway Arch! The Gateway to the West, and a testament to American progress. Here’s to 61 more years of inspiring St. Louisans and visitors alike. 🥳🎂

As Prosecutor I saw firsthand the devastating effect of domestic violence on survivors, victims and their families. Today, I had the honor of speaking at an event for Domestic Violence Awareness Month put on by Women of Grace and the Missouri Foundation for Health. Thank you to the organizations who joined us today who do the work on the ground to ensure that people on the worst days of their lives know that they are not alone. I will always stand with survivors and continue to fight to protect them. 💜

October 26th commemorates the Day of the Deployed, a day to recognize the brave servicemembers who are currently serving overseas. It also honors their families’ honorable commitment to this nation as they support their loved ones from home or abroad. I’m proud to sponsor this bipartisan resolution to make sure our servicemembers and their families know that our country sees them and is grateful for their incredible sacrifices.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To all the survivors, the women currently fighting, and their loved ones affected by this heartbreaking disease: you are not alone. We must continue fighting to improve our health care system and funding research, so that we can finally beat cancer. 🩷

This week, I got to help break ground at Preservation Square, which will soon be the site of hundreds of mixed-income homes. This project is a direct result of what happens when neighbors advocate for their needs, and local, state, and federal partners work together to make it happen. I’ll keep fighting in Congress to bring more housing resources to the St. Louis region.

Proud to announce I’ve received a score of "100" on @HRC’s Congressional Scorecard for this Congress! I will ALWAYS fight for equality and resources for all 💯

Everything ties into having a job. That’s why I’m fighting alongside organizations like SLATE to bring career resources to St. Louisans.

🚨New federal funding for the St. Louis region! After the tornado destroyed so much of our district last year, I haven’t stopped fighting to bring funds and resources back to St. Louis to rebuild. Today, I’m proud to announce that we secured over $1M in relief funding for highway infrastructure repair.

HUGE congrats to @stlCITYsc on winning the U.S. Open Cup last night and scoring their first trophy in club history!! #TitleTown ‼️🏆⚽️

My 2026 Health Fair is one month away on November 21st! Join us at Delmar Divine from 10am-3pm CT to be connected with health care resources and on-site health screenings. See you in a month! 🩺

I’m fighting to end the health care affordability crisis in the St. Louis region. Thank you @KMOV for hosting myself and Riisa Rawlins from @chcmissouri to discuss this important topic.

🚨Applications for my Spring 2027 Internship Program close at 5pm CT TONIGHT! Don’t miss out! Congressional internships are a wonderful way to learn how the Hill works and give back to Missouri’s First District. bell.house.gov/services/inte…

It was an absolute pleasure visiting @SLATEMJC today! What an incredible team working to help St. Louisans build careers and a better future. Thank you all for the work you do to help, train and support job seekers across the St. Louis region.

Trump sent his political advisors to the Republika Srpska to provide counsel on voting– and they were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for it. After their trip, the corrupt, pro-Russia candidate and his party won races across the political entity. It's not right. That's why I'm sending my concerns directly to the President. Trump must answer our questions and be held accountable.

Holding Jeffrey Epstein accountable means investigating ALL angles of his crimes. That’s why I’m proud to have joined @OversightDems in introducing legislation calling out Wall Street for enabling Epstein’s actions and demanding the release of his records. The victims and survivors deserve justice. And we’re following the evidence to find the truth. nytimes.com/2026/10/15/busin…
