St. Louis Democrat, Cori Bush, Quietly Announces Her Wedding

Cori Anika Bush, born July 21, 1976, is an American politician, nurse, pastor, and Black Lives Matter activist. She has served as the U.S. Representative for Missouri's 1st congressional district since 2021. A member of the "Squad," a group of progressive Democratic representatives, Bush has been an outspoken advocate for social justice and police reform.

In a private ceremony held earlier this month, Bush married Cortney Merritts, a security specialist. Bush's office confirmed the news on Sunday. Merritts, who previously worked as a security guard for Bush, is reportedly paid more than the average salary for his position.

Bush is known for her passionate advocacy and community involvement. She has used her platform to address issues such as police brutality, affordable housing, and racial inequality. Her marriage to Merritts, a fellow activist, has been met with well wishes and congratulations from supporters.

The private ceremony was held in St. Louis, where Bush resides and represents in Congress. Further details about the wedding have not been released.
