The claim that Tylenol causes autism has not been substantiated. This is what happens when a quack with no expertise is put in charge of our health.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk was an act of horrific political violence, and I condemn it without hesitation. My heart goes out to his wife, his children, and all who loved him. No family should ever endure this kind of tragedy—

What I can and will do is work to strengthen our democracy, protect all of our communities from violence, and ensure that every American is treated with respect—

That is the responsibility I owe my constituents, and it is the work I will continue to do.

A core goal of my office is to provide gold star constituent services. If you need help with a federal agency or any issue involving the federal government, we’ve got you covered. Please call my district office at (314) 955-9980 during regular business hours—

I introduced the Gateway Partnership Act to allow the National Park Service to work directly with the Gateway Arch Park Foundation to host private events in Park buildings. Proud to lead efforts like these that foster regional growth for St. Louis.

Missourians are worried about how they’re going to get through the next month, the cost of living—not about the lines of Congressional districts. This latest power grab by the Admin. strips fair representation from the people of Kansas City & MO. It’s cheating. We ought to call it exactly what it is

Health equity isn’t just some slogan. It means every child, regardless of background, gets the care they deserve. When folks try to dismiss health equity, what they’re really saying is not all kids matter. I won’t let that slide.

This week, we honor Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week. These heroes provide care, dignity, and independence to so many in our communities. If you know a DSP, tag them and thank them for their work!

988 has already saved lives, but too many people still don't know it's there when they need it. That’s why I introduced a bipartisan resolution to designate September 8 as 988 Day—

I introduced the Healthy Servicemembers Act with Rep. Yassamin Ansari to make sure military families aren’t left to suffer from unsafe housing. Our bill requires the Department of Defense to screen & track health conditions linked to substandard housing and raise awareness about available resources—

When Americans are exposed to toxic chemicals because of their own federal government, both parties in Congress have a duty to ensure they receive the compensation and care they need—and deserve—

Anyone who downplays this and tells you there's nothing to see here or nothing to look at -- Look at them! #releaseALLtheEpsteinfiles #accountability #justice

I signed a petition to force Congress to hold a vote to release ALL of the Epstein files. These egregious crimes reach the highest levels of government—the American people deserve full transparency. Standing with survivors means refusing to let their truth be buried or suppressed any longer.

For more than 40 years, the Missouri Botanical Garden has hosted the Japanese Festival, bringing together art, dance, food, and culture for thousands of visitors each year. Proud to join our community in celebrating this rich tradition and the Japanese-American organizations that make it possible.

I came on CNN to raise alarm about the CDC’s upheaval of vaccines—and once again, an inconvenient truth was deflected by targeting the LGBT+ community. That playbook is getting old fast—

I come from a labor family, and I’ve been a union member myself. Now in Congress, I’m proud to serve in the Labor Caucus. That experience is why I’ll always stand with American workers — because labor is what turns hard work into fair pay, benefits, and dignity on the job. Happy Labor Day!

Another school shooting. Another tragedy. Some days it feels impossible to hold onto hope — but those families deserve more than our despair. Gun violence is out of control, and until we face it head on, more families will pay the price. My heart is with the families living through this nightmare.

Public service means being present, even when the questions are hard. I stayed the full 90 minutes because everyone in our community deserves to be heard. So if you didn’t get to ask yours, email [email protected] and I’ll do my best to respond personally.

Congressman Wesley Bell is in the north St. Louis County neighborhood where an explosion leveled homes and left multiple people injured. Read more >> https://tinyurl.com/3w96su9k 

Zip codes on the north side of the City of STL were left out of the current RECA bill. I just met with PHACTS advocates, listening to their list of illnesses and circumstances resulting from weapons waste in their communities from childhood...

St. Louis has everything it needs to thrive. We’re at the center of the country, we have the most northern port that doesn’t freeze, our healthcare systems touch lives across the nation… the list goes on. There’s no reason we can’t be great—

But greatness doesn’t come without honest conversations—even when they’re tough, even when people disagree. That’s why I will always show up, listen, and fight for this region. No matter how difficult the conversation, I’ll keep standing up for St. Louis and the future we deserve.

Last night’s town hall showed both the promise and the challenges of democracy. Many of you came ready to have a real conversation about St. Louis’ future. Unfortunately, some weren’t given that chance. If you weren’t able to ask your question, email [email protected]—

I’ll do my best to respond personally, and if you’d like to leave a phone number, I may be able to call and talk it through with you.

This year marks 60 years of Head Start: an investment in our children, families, and communities that has changed millions of lives. I’ll keep fighting to protect and strengthen this vital program so every child has a fair shot at success.

Interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy? Join us for Academy Day 2025 on Saturday, Sept. 13 at Jefferson College Field House in Hillsboro, MO! Meet representatives from West Point, Naval, Air Force, Merchant Marine, and Coast Guard Academies, plus ROTC—

To register, send an email to [email protected]. Include your name, address, cell, school, and year of graduation.

The GOP’s push to redraw Missouri’s districts to secure another seat is a blatant act of fear—fear that voters see through their corruption and won’t stand for it.—

90 years ago, FDR signed Social Security into law—ensuring dignity in retirement and keeping millions out of poverty. Now, Trump’s Treasury Secretary admits their budget has a “backdoor to privatizing” it: risking benefits for seniors, people with disabilities, children, and veterans—

Social Security has never missed a payment. Democrats built and defended it, and I’ll fight to protect and expand it—not sell it off to the highest bidder. For help with Social Security or other federal services, call (314) 955-9980 or visit bell.house.gov.

Our town hall meeting on Tuesday, August 19 at 6:30 PM CT in downtown St. Louis is SOLD OUT! Be aware that all bags will be subject to search for security purposes—and make sure to arrive early to guarantee a seat. For information on parking and other details, visit bell.house.gov/townhall.

This is the story of the Roesch Family. Thanks to help from my office, they were able to cut through red tape and reunite after being separated for 8 years. Their story can be your story too. I welcome my constituents in St. Louis to reach out for help dealing with the federal government—

To contact us, please call (314) 955-9980, or visit bell.house.gov. Let’s make government work for you.

Affordable housing is one of the biggest challenges we face; it touches everything: health, education, safety, economic opportunity, etc.. If people don’t have a stable and safe place to live, nothing else can fall in place—

I visited Marquette Homes with local leaders to celebrate the more than 50 new living spaces it will bring to St. Louis!

On the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, I brought together providers, advocates, and health care leaders from all across Missouri for a roundtable on the devastating impact of the Big Ugly Bill—which adds burdens on already strained health systems without providing the resources to meet those demands—

Today is National Intern Day! We want to send a special shout-out to our first class of interns—a dedicated, sharp, and passionate group that has brought fresh energy to Team Bell. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to public service. We’re proud of you and expecting big things from you!

Our job fair was a HUGE success! Grateful to the over 50 local employers and over 800 job seekers who registered—ready to build a stronger workforce in St. Louis. We’re opening doors, creating opportunities, and helping folks get to work!

I am hosting a job fair TOMORROW at UMSL Millennium Student Center! Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to connect with employers in the St. Louis region! RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/congressma...

The Administration must release the Epstein files. @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social is right—this is about more than Donald Trump or Jeffrey Epstein. This is about trust and making sure we protect innocent victims, not sex traffickers.

Deploying masked ICE agents is not only a public safety risk, but a complete sacrifice of public trust. If someone resists arrest because they think an ICE agent is fraud, they will be prosecuted—

The lack of transparency and humanity from this administration is not only destroying the people’s faith in government—but disrupting innocent lives. I will continue to use my voice and my vote against the inhumane conduct at DHS.

I am encouraged to see Israel expanding humanitarian access to help civilians in Gaza. The UN and other international agencies must ensure that humanitarian aid in their possession on the Gaza side of the border is getting to those in need without delay—

We must also continue to demand that Hamas release the hostages who have been brutally held for more than 660 days. This would end tomorrow if Hamas released them and laid down their arms. The international community should be outraged that the hostages continue to endure this unspeakable horror.

Spoke at the 1st Annual Kustawi Summit this morning: a powerful gathering focused on breaking the stigma around mental health and uplifting our African immigrant communities. From healthcare to small business, your contributions make St. Louis stronger—

My commitment is to keep fighting for the policies that help you not just live, but thrive.
