Outgoing Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) said she is open to mounting another run for office in the future. In the meantime, the two-term lawmaker will organize and work on the same issues she focused on long before she stepped foot on Capitol Hill.
“The possibilities are endless. All I know right now is that I am not going anywhere. I’m going to keep fighting for the issues that I fought for before I ever entered Congress, and since I’ve been in Congress,” Bush said in an interview with Politico Magazine that was published Wednesday.
“Running for office again is not off the table at all. I did not expect to only be in Congress for four years, and so I do believe at some point I will run again, whether it’s for Congress or something else, I don’t know,” she added.
The progressive Democrat said, “I don’t have any plans right now, but it’s not off the table. What I will do, though, is I will organize and I will work on the same issues and more that I started with before I ever made it to the Congress.”
