Congressman William Lacy Clay Jr. (D-MO), a 10-term representative whose family has held the Missouri first congressional seat since 1969, was ousted by a far-left activist in the Democratic primary on Tuesday evening.
According to The Associated Press, Cori Bush, 44, who challenged Clay in 2018, won in a rematch for the seat that Clay won following his father’s retirement in 2000. Former Congressman William Lacy Clay Sr., the first African American man to serve in Congress from the state of Missouri, served for 32 years beginning in 1969.
