2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Missouri

The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Missouri were held on November 5, 2024, to elect the eight U.S. representatives from the state of Missouri, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections coincided with the U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. Primary elections took place on August 6, 2024.

District 1

The 1st district encompasses the city of St. Louis and much of northern St. Louis County, including Florissant and University City. The incumbent was Democrat Cori Bush, who was elected with 72.9% of the vote in 2022. Bush was considered vulnerable in this race and lost her primary to Wesley Bell.

Democratic primary

The primary, held on August 6, 2024, was the second most-expensive House primary in history, with a record $9 million in spending against Bush from United Democracy Project, AIPAC's super PAC. The organization targeted Bush after her criticism of Israel during the Gaza war.
