Democratic Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, who advocates for defunding the police, has spent almost $65,000 for private security services during the prior few months, campaign filings reveal, according to Fox News.
The freshman lawmaker's campaign shelled out $64,141.26 for private security between the beginning of July and late September, the outlet reported, citing Federal Election Commission records.
The outlet had previously reported that her campaign spent more than $69,000 on private security over a period of time earlier this year. She passionately defended that spending during an August CBSN interview, noting that she receives death threats.
Bush said that she will "make sure I have security because I know I have had attempts on my life," adding that she has "too much work to do, there are too many people that need help right now for" her to permit that.
