The Wesley Bell campaign entered the final stretch of the hotly contested Democratic primary in Missouri’s First Congressional District with a 5-to-1 cash-on-hand advantage over incumbent Rep. Cori Bush, according to the latest FEC filings. The Bell campaign’s cash advantage is thanks in large part to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which has provided nearly two-thirds of its funding.
