OPINION | This article contains political commentary which reflects the author’s opinion. Radical leftist “Squad” member Cori Bush of Missouri received bad news.
A businessman in St. Louis, Republican-hopeful Andrew Jones, is leaving the private sector to run for Congress because he’s fed up with crime in St. Louis.
“I was tired of the crime and all the issues that I thought could be changed, if you had the proper leadership in play,” Jones told Fox News.
Jones is married and a father of two. He filed to run in the 1st Congressional District on February 22nd in Jefferson City.
Residents in Bush’s district feel as though there is “no hope,” Jones said.
Tthere are more criminals and “people who want to be anti-citizens” that have been “more emboldened” since Bush took office in 2020, he added.
“You see crime escalating. It’s growing. The philosophy of doing what you want to do and not fit in is absolutely growing here in the metropolitan area,” he said.
“Even though the city of Saint Louis talks about there is a reduction in murders, and things of that nature, but we know that those numbers are somewhat fabricated,” said Jones, promising that he will make it a part of his campaign to scrutinize the statistics.61-year-old Jones disagrees with Bush’s push to defund the police. He says an overwhelming majority of African-Americans in St. Louis want proper representation and policing.“People want the police,” he responded. “They understand that there’s no perfect system out here.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
