Did Cori Bush really deliver $2 billion to St. Louis?
For almost the entire duration of her career in Congress, Rep. Cori Bush has claimed credit for bringing home community project funds commonly known as "earmarks." Rep. Cori Bush, known for her role in Congress as "earmarks," has claimed credit for delivering $2 billion to St. Louis, but the majority of the funds were not unique to St Louis, nor were specific funding decisions steered by her office. Local elected officials, school boards, and public health departments also contributed to the funding. While the $1.1 billion she claims credit for has been set aside for the region, it is estimated that over half of the $498 million intended for the city has not yet been spent.

The bulk of those funds were not unique to St. Louis, nor were the specific funding decisions steered by her office. Instead, they were made by local elected officials, school boards and public health departments. While the $1.1 billion she claims credit for has been set aside for the region, it has not all yet been "delivered," as her billboard claims. More than half of the $498 million intended for the city of St. Louis has not yet been spent.
