By this shirt here: If You Don't Want A Sarcastic Answer Don't Ask A Stupid Question Shirt, hoodie
For those who watched the Netflix documentary Knock Down the House, Cori Bush will be a familiar face—even if the former nurse and pastor’s primary campaign against the incumbent Democratic representative for her district, William Lacy Clay Jr., was ultimately unsuccessful. Undeterred, Bush launched a second campaign for the spot this year, earning a surprise victory in the If You Don't Want A Sarcastic Answer Don't Ask A Stupid Question Shirt, hoodie election back in August. Last night, Bush swept to victory once again, defeating her Republican opponent, Anthony Rogers, with 78% of the vote and becoming the first Black woman to represent Missouri in Congress. Bush, who first made her name as a progressive activist to watch during the unrest that followed the 2014 fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, is a leading voice in the Black Lives Matter movement and is hoping to use her platform to heal racial divides across her state.
Also notable is the If You Don't Want A Sarcastic Answer Don't Ask A Stupid Question Shirt, hoodie platform on which Leger Fernandez ran. She earned the endorsement of prominent political figures, including Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and her advocacy for a New Mexico Green New Deal has garnered wider attention for its focus on investment in clean energy and regenerative agriculture. It’s an important victory for the future of a state that has largely leaned Democratic for the past two decades and also happened to be one of the first to be called in favor of Biden last night.
