Cori Bush nears $500,000 in campaign cash to private security despite repeated calls to defund police

foxnews.com:

Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., has spent nearly $500,000 in campaign funds on private security services despite her recent doubling down on her support for defunding the police, federal filings show.

Bush's campaign paid out over $100,000 for "security services" throughout the third quarter of 2022, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Her campaign paid $71,201.06 to Peace Security, a St. Louis-based private security company. Most of the remaining $30,000 for "security services" went to Cortney Merrits and Nathaniel Davis, whose reported address in the filings is the same as Bush's campaign headquarters.

Bush has now directed over $490,000 into private security for the 2022 election cycle as she remains one of the last Democrats to openly call for the defunding of the police.
