Bell Wesley

Born and raised in North St. Louis County, Wesley Bell grew up in a union household that instilled in him a deep appreciation for public service and the dignity of hard work. Bell has dedicated his career to public service and the pursuit of justice. From serving as a public defender in St. Louis, to a criminology professor at Florissant Valley Community College, to becoming the first Black person elected as St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney, Bell has worked tirelessly to lift up the St. Louis region. Now, as a Member of Congress, he continues his commitment to public service, fighting for policies that strengthen working families, improve public safety, and bring resources to Missouri’s First District. Drawing from his experiences, he remains focused on common-sense solutions that improve the lives of Missourians and create opportunities for all.
