I recently had the pleasure of speaking at Mastercard's Dreams Built Here event. When we invest in our small businesses we are investing in ourselves and our communities. St. Louis has not seen its best days. I will keep working in Congress to bring more resources back to our region.

Wanted to take a moment to shout out my amazing team. We had our 2026 staff retreat in DC last week, and learned more about working with each other and how to best represent everyone back home in the district. Couldn’t do this without all of you. 🫶🏾

Applications for my spring internship program close are now open! Interning is a great way to learn the ropes of Congress, whether you’re DC or St. Louis-based. Come help me and my team represent Missouri’s First District!

And yet another win for STL! $42 million going to ensure safety and provide operational improvements for Lambert Airport. More investment for our region, airport, and working to awaken the sleeping giant of St. Louis.

St. Louis is a cornerstone of America’s aerospace and defense industrial base. Boeing’s new carrier fighter will bring high-paying jobs to the region, and strengthen our Navy. I’ll keep fighting to ensure St. Louis remains at the center of America’s national security, defense, and aerospace.

I got the chance to speak to the families of victims wrongfully killed by ICE. Nothing will ever truly bring back what’s been taken from them, but myself and @OversightDems are fighting to hold ICE and the Trump Administration accountable.

The tornado that hit St. Louis last year made it clear more than ever that our nation’s disaster relief system needs a complete overhaul. I’m fighting to fix it.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

…that’s an additional $624 in gas costs for the average family from Missouri’s First District. All because of an unauthorized war with no end in sight.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

This week, I spoke out against Trump’s corruption at an @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social hearing. The president’s family members and his billionaire friends shouldn’t be getting payouts while the American people suffer. We’re fighting to end Trump’s affordability crisis.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Trump has put America into an affordability crisis. Proud to stand alongside my fellow @housedemocrats.bsky.social today to speak out against the Administration’s agenda that prioritizes putting money in its own pockets rather than helping working Americans.

For 30 years, Missouri and Panama have stood together as partners and friends. Our National Guard's partnership with Panama has made both our communities safer and stronger. Proud to lead a resolution honoring three decades of this vital alliance. 🇺🇸🇵🇦

On this 988 Day, I want to recognize the importance of the 988 lifeline and remind constituents that help is ALWAYS within reach. No one should have to face the darkness alone. Please do not hesitate to call 9-8-8 if you need to speak with someone.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor the hard-working Americans who keep our communities and economy moving. As a proud member of a union family, I will ALWAYS fight for working families and an economy where every worker can build a secure future.

Happy belated 102nd birthday to the first Black pitcher in Cardinals history, Bill Greason! From being one of the first Black Marines and fighting in the Battle of Iwo Jima, to the last surviving Negro Leagues player, to a pastor for 50 years, Bill is a LEGEND and an inspiration. Happy birthday!

Today, I got to honor the life and legacy of my friend Reggie Jones on the House Floor. Sending prayers and love to his family and loved ones. May his memory be a blessing and his example be our charge.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Today, we remember the March on Washington, where thousands of Americans stood together to demand jobs, freedom, and equality, helping change the course of history. We honor their legacy by continuing the fight for a better America.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Renaming the USS Doris Miller after Trump would be unprecedented and a direct attack on Black history. Doris Miller was a brave servicemember who stepped outside the bounds of his own rank to save the lives of his fellow men during Pearl Harbor. He deserves for his memory to be honored.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Today, students from the St. Louis region had their first day of school. Take a look at how Trump’s economy has caused the price of school supplies to increase, putting a strain on working families’ budgets.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is a blessing to our community and our children. I’m excited for the care, research, and progress this new facility will bring to the health care industry in the St. Louis region. Let’s keep working to take care of St. Louisans.

Is #TBT still cool? Throwing it back to my days as St. Louis County Prosecutor. No matter the role, I have always and will always fight for St. Louis. Lifting up our community is the most important thing to me.

A vaccine the size of a soda bottle?!  Once again, Trump proves he knows nothing about health care. People should consult their doctors about proper vaccine protocol– NOT Donald Trump.

Generations of women fought to ensure they had the right to vote. And now, Trump’s SAVE America Act threatens to block millions of women from voting. I’m doing everything I can to stop it from passing and protect the freedom of every eligible voter.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

The recent reports regarding our sailors and the living conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are abhorrent and unacceptable. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am leading the fight to get answers and protect our troops.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

My office fought hard to get a constituent with a high-risk pregnancy released from ICE custody, but this isn’t the end. It’s critical we ensure the safety of those in custody. I won’t stop fighting until the oversight work is done and the immigration process is fair and humane for everyone.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

On this day in 1935, the Social Security Act was signed into law. This vital legislation is a lifeline for older Americans, people with disabilities, and families. I will always fight to protect and strengthen Social Security so future generations can rely on its benefits.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

There’s a 20% child poverty rate in the St. Louis region. That’s why organizations like the Little Bit Foundation are so important. It was wonderful getting to learn more about how they’re breaking down barriers for under-resourced students.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Honored to have hosted a roundtable discussion with women veterans from the St. Louis region. I’m thankful for the insight everyone provided, and I’ll continue fighting in Congress for the brave women who sacrifice so much for this country.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Honored to present the City of St. Louis with over $1.2M in federal funding I helped secure through the CPF program. These funds will help wake up the sleeping giant that is St. Louis. But the work doesn’t stop here– I’ll keep fighting to bring more resources back home.

Thank you to the awesome folks at Gateway Down Syndrome Association for letting me spend Fusion Friday with you all! I had the best time getting to know more about your program and the amazing people you serve. Know that you’ll always have a friend and advocate in me.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Today we commemorate the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act becoming law. But there is still so much work to be done to protect the freedom to vote. Trump’s SAVE America Act would block millions from voting. I’m fighting back.

Always a treat to get to stop by the St. Louis County Animal Shelter and check in on our furry friends… or not so furry in some cases.

Proud to join the groundbreaking at the Rollick site, a new mixed-use development that will bring regional growth to the St. Louis region and excited to see how this transforms Downtown West! I’ll stay laser-focused on delivering more resources and growth to our district.

Events like yesterday's Metro Market hosted by People's Health Centers and Operation Food Search make me so proud to see our community showing up for one another. Access to healthy food and Healthcare is a #humanright!

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Today marks 61 years since Medicare and Medicaid were established. But Trump wants to limit these programs and make health care less accessible for families and seniors. It’s not right. I’m fighting back.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

An honor to speak at the St. Louis Sprinkler Fitter Union’s 125th anniversary celebration! I come from a union family. I know the hard work and service these people are putting forth for their community every day. I could not be more grateful for all they do for the St. Louis region.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

St. Louisans have endured decades of health and economic crises because of radioactive contamination from the Manhattan Project. I’m proud to be a part of new legislation that expands RECA. While no legislation can erase the past, this is a huge step forward.

As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I was glad to sit down with Panama's Ambassador to the U.S., José Alemán Healy. Missouri & Panama have been partners for 30 years. Our National Guard trains alongside Panama's forces. Looking forward to the next 30 years of partnership.

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Joined my Senate colleagues to address the financial lunacy of Trump's vanity projects. Hundreds of millions poured into needless renovations — all on the taxpayers' dime. NO ONE asked for this. Just imagine what that money could have done for working families.

243

Congressman Wesley Bell @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

This unauthorized war needs to stop. Three more U.S. servicemembers have been killed. It’s beyond time for Republicans to remember the checks and balances set forth by our Constitution and hold Trump accountable.
