Bush, now 48, grew up in St. Louis County, watching her father serve as an alderman and mayor of the city of Northwoods, Missouri. She earned a nursing degree, founded a church and served as its pastor. Bell, now 49, grew up nearby, the son of a police officer and a civil servant. He went to law school, then worked as a public defender, criminology professor at a community college and a municipal court judge.
Bush, after Ferguson, competed in the 2016 Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, coming in a distant second to a former secretary of state, who lost that November to incumbent Republican Sen. Roy Blunt. Two years later, she launched a House primary campaign against 20-year incumbent Rep. Lacy Clay, whose father had held the seat for 30 years before him, but lost by nearly 20 points. In 2020, she tried again and won.
