Congressman Wesley Bell
@repwesleybellmo
Official House BlueSky Account for Representative Wesley Bell (MO-1). Proud Representative of Missouri’s First District. Native St. Louisan.
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.
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.
Today, and every day, we remember Congressman John Lewis and look to his profound legacy for inspiration. An incomparable leader, and a true American.

I went to the DOJ to investigate some un-redacted Epstein files. Let’s get the truth out and deliver justice to the victims and survivors.
Hosted a voting rights roundtable in St. Louis last week with my friend Rep. Morelle. It was a great discussion about fighting back against Trump’s voter suppression tactics. Everyone’s voice deserves to be heard.
Trump’s corrupt policies are causing our kids to go hungry. I’m fighting back to restore food access for St. Louisans.
Trump is profiting while working Americans are struggling to pay for rising gas prices. Make it make sense.
As a former prosecutor and a member of Congress, I will always fight to protect survivors. Period. Full stop.
Earlier this year, I got the opportunity to honor the four-decades-long legacy of Wiley Price. It was my absolute pleasure to get to present him with a memorialized copy of the speech, and commend him for all of his work. Thank you, Wiley, for being the St. Louis LEGEND that you are. 👏🏾
Happy birthday, America! Got to decorate a piece of the 250th birthday cake to represent Missouri’s First District. 🎂💙❤️
Happy 250th, America. And happy Fourth of July to everyone celebrating in the St. Louis region. 🇺🇸🦅💙
🚨These funds help wake up the sleeping giant that is St. Louis. Excited to see how this funding improves the travel experience at Lambert. I’ll keep pushing for more regional growth.
In the midst of Trump’s illegal war driving up prices, it’s unsurprising that the job market isn’t thriving.
Last night, I stood with fellow members of the Equality Caucus to celebrate Pride Month as June came to an end. Pride Month may be over, but I’ll always fight to protect the rights of our LGBTQ neighbors. 🫶🏾🏳️🌈
So many amazing things happen when people have a stable, good-paying job. I’m proud to help bring these federal dollars to the St. Louis region and can’t wait to see all the good it will do for our community.
There is a gun violence epidemic in America. And I’m going to do everything I can to fight for safety for our children and families. #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth
As June comes to a close, I want to wish everyone a happy Immigrant Heritage Month. America is a nation built by immigrants, and I could not be more grateful for all of their contributions to our country and its culture.
Great meeting with constituent advocates from the CF Foundation this week. Thank you for sharing your stories. Know that you’ll always have a partner in me in the fight for health research, resources, and funding.
Huge congratulations to our 2026 Congressional Art Competition winner, Kaylynn. It was a pleasure showing you around the Capitol yesterday…way to represent MO-01! 👏🏾🎨
Excited to see how this funding will bring a new life to Bethlehem Lutheran Church and St. Louis.
Today’s SCOTUS ruling is another awful attack on our TPS brothers and sisters from Haiti and Syria.
I’m at the Supreme Court standing in solidarity with my fellow Dems and advocates fighting for TPS for Haitian and Syrian immigrants.

Today marks four years since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Since then, we’ve seen an extreme loss of reproductive freedom. I’m fighting to restore access to abortion and reproductive health services.
I’m fighting to defund ICE because no one should live in fear.
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and father figures out there. Thank you for all you do 💙
Looking back on the last meeting of my inaugural Youth Council and wanted to take a moment to brag on these students. They are brilliant, hard-working young leaders, and I’m thankful to have gotten to know them through this program. Stay tuned for information about applications for our next cohort!
