U.S. Representative

Wesley Bell

Democrat - Missouri

Bell strongly supports Israel and the nation’s right to defend itself against terrorism. He is perfectly aligned with JAC’s missions to advance safe and legal reproductive healthcare and reduce gun violence in the U.S. His election to the House was particular important because in Missouri, women hold no reproductive freedoms and are denied the right to abortions even in the cases of rape and incest–and Bell has a proven track record of fighting for abortion access to change this.
