Representative Cori Bush writing book

The St. Louis Post Dispatch is reporting that newly-elected congresswoman Cori Bush is writing a book. 

The longtime activist leader from Florissant reported the book project in an annual financial disclosure statement filed last Friday.   

According to the disclosure, she could receive as much as $100,000 as an advance for writing “The Cori Chronicles”   

Bush, who is also a nurse, defeated 10-term Democrat William Lacy Clay in the August 2020 primary before winning easily in November. 

Her district includes St. Louis and parts of St. Louis County.
