Hey John, it’s Lucas Kunce.
I wanted to take just a little time this evening to tell you a story about the Missouri I grew up in — and share why Josh Hawley doesn’t know a thing about it.
So before I ask you to chip in $10 or anything at all to my grassroots campaign, will you please give me a moment to explain?
On the right is Joshua Hawley. While his banker daddy was sending him to a fancy prep school miles from his hometown, my family and I were relying on our neighbors to survive bankruptcy and medical bills in mid-Missouri — in a community where people took care of each other. That’s us on the left.
When Hawley graduated from law school, he joined one of the world’s most elite corporate law firms. I joined the Marine Corps to pay back the community in Missouri that took care of me and my family. And when he was climbing the ladder to become another corrupt politician, I was serving my country — and then working to prevent the pointless overseas wars that make us less safe.
While Josh Hawley aligned himself with the same giant corporations who’ve spent decades attacking Missouri workers and shipping away our jobs, I’ve been fighting to take back power for American workers and small businesses.
And when Hawley voted against relief for veterans like me who were exposed to toxic burn pits, I stood up alongside thousands of veterans to hold him accountable.
The Missouri I grew up in taught us to take care of one another. To do your duty. To serve and sacrifice for your fellow Missourians.
Josh Hawley doesn’t know that Missouri — and on January 6th, 2021, he showed us the only thing he’s learned is how to be a fraud and a coward.
Josh Hawley hasn't just abandoned our state and our values. He's embarrassed himself and all of Missouri. And embarrassing Missouri... That’s something I can't let go.
Missourians deserve a U.S. Senator who will stand up and fight for them — and unlike Josh, I'm ready to serve. If you’re on board to help us make sure every Missouri voter knows it before they vote on Election Day, I need your help:

If we keep working together, we can take back power for working Missourians and everyday people all across the country.
Thank you,
