Hi John, it’s Lucas Kunce reaching out with an important
personal update.
On June 5th at 9:47AM, my wife Marilyn delivered our newborn son, Harvey.
7 weeks early. 3.3 lbs. An emergency c-section. I didn’t think I could be
more amazed by Marilyn’s resilience -- she started working as a kid to
help her family survive, came to a new country for opportunity with no
money and no friends, and became a successful professional at an
environmental non-profit -- but witnessing her strength, love, and
fortitude during Harvey’s first couple of days in the NICU and her
recovery has been incredible.
[ [link removed] ]In the NICU with Marilyn and Harvey
Marilyn is home from the hospital and, for the most part, Harvey is doing
well. He still has some time to spend in the NICU, but he is proving to be
just as feisty as his mom and getting stronger every day.
All of this has reminded me more than ever that the campaign we’re
building here in Missouri isn’t about personal ambition or getting into
office -- it’s about making sure families like yours and mine are ok.
It’s about making sure we have a health care system where mothers --
especially women of color like Marilyn -- in Missouri, a state with one of
the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, are safe in
childbirth.
It’s about making sure people like me and you can have kids and afford to
provide for our families afterwards without getting burdened by medical
bills -- like the ones that forced my own family into bankruptcy growing
up.
And it’s about fighting for a Missouri where we can raise our children to
live and thrive for generations with strong communities, opportunities,
and good pay.
So yes, I’m running for U.S. Senate. But for my family, I still need to be
the most attentive father and husband I can be -- especially during this
time.
That’s why I’m asking for your help, John.
Over the next couple weeks, I won’t be able to make as many calls as I
usually would to raise our campaign money during this end-of-quarter push
-- and there’s a real chance that if we don’t make up for it in online
donations, our total fundraising number could take a serious hit.
I'm asking you to help me now so that I'm not in a position where I have
to choose between spending time with Marilyn and Harvey when they need me
and raising the resources to defeat Josh Hawley for all of us. With your
help, we can do both.
Supporters like you have always had my back -- and now I’m counting on you
to be there for me again. [ [link removed] ]So please, will you help my campaign stay on
track while I take some time to be a father by splitting a donation of $5,
$10, or whatever you can afford between my campaign and the Progressive
Change Campaign Committee today?

Josh Hawley hasn’t done a thing to make Missouri better for parents and
our children -- from refusing to raise wages so we can take care of our
families to voting against health care to even using his own position and
power to control the lives of everyday people all across our state.
These issues are personal to me, just like they are to you. And I’m proud
to be fighting for all of us in this race for U.S. Senate.
Thank you so much for having my back, John.
Talk soon,
-- Lucas
