“When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it,” writes Michelle Obama.

MISSOURI - Congresswoman Cori Bush is likely heading back to Washington next year after winning the Democratic primary over state Rep. Steve Roberts on Tuesday.
The Associated Press called Bush as the winner at 9:42 p.m., when unofficial results showed her receiving more than two-thirds of the vote in the 1st Congressional District, which includes St. Louis and parts of St. Louis County.
Because the district is largely Democratic, whoever won Tuesday’s primary is likely to win again in November.
“They counted us out, and they said we weren't good enough,” Bush said. “They said you can't make change. But we're here.”
Bush dominated the contest, garnering 69.5% of the vote compared to Roberts’ 26.6%. The contentious campaign featured attacks by Roberts on both her voting record and some of her actions outside of the House chamber.
