My dad spent 25 years as a police officer, and growing up, my family taught me I had a responsibility to make a difference when I could. In Ferguson, Missouri, that meant trying to help calm tensions between police and protesters. I did what was natural to me: I worked to mediate between two sides who seemed at war with each other. At the time, I was a part-time judge and a professor, enforcing the law and teaching it. But Ferguson taught me I could be doing more — so I ran for Ferguson City Council and won. Then, when I saw a lack of leadership in the St. Louis County prosecutor's office, I took on the Democratic political establishment. In 2018, we shocked the nation when I was elected the first African American top prosecutor in the largest prosecuting attorney’s office in Missouri. With your help and support, we defeated a seven-term incumbent while taking a tough stand against violent criminals, all while bringing power closer to our community. Now, I'm seeing that same lack of leadership I saw in St. Louis County in Washington. Public service is in my DNA, and I'm ready to fix it. That's why I need you onboard in our fight to defeat Josh Hawley in 2024: [If you’re ready to send Hawley packing, split a donation between Elect Black Democrats and my campaign today to help us get this campaign off the ground!]( If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be processed immediately and split between Wesley Bell and Elect Black Democrats.

We can do better. I know we’re going to face many challenges on the road ahead. There will be a lot of doubters who won’t believe we can win. But here’s what I believe: We have more in common than politicians like Hawley say we do, and together, we can take our state back.
