[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

Hi John, it’s
Lucas Kunce.

As a kid from a working-class neighborhood in mid-Missouri, running for
office and becoming a politician was never part of my plan. So I wanted to
take just a few moments today to share a little more about how we got here
and why I’m running for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat.

Will you please let me explain?

Like so many other American families, mine lived paycheck-to-paycheck —
and when my little sister was born with a heart condition, we went
bankrupt.

Thanks to the generosity of our neighbors and people around town, we were
able to get by. They helped me go to college, and after that I joined the
Marines to honor everything they gave to me growing up.

But when I came home between tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, I found a
neighborhood that had been picked for parts — our neighborhood corner
store boarded up, our first family home bulldozed to the ground. Now it’s
an empty lot.

stood.

While all of us were risking our lives to build up towns like Habbaniyah,
Fallujah, and Herat, career politicians and corporate elites like Josh
Hawley let towns and neighborhoods at home waste away. And then, after
spending 20 years and $6.4 trillion on pointless forever wars and defense
contractors, they couldn’t figure out how to invest a fraction of that
amount back into our own country.

I’m running for U.S. Senate because it’s time everyday Missourians —
people who know how to take care of each other — called the shots in this
country. [ [link removed] ]And today, I’m asking for your support to make it happen.

If you’re ready to take back power from the giant corporations and
corrupt, career politicians who’ve waged economic warfare on our country,
I need you on this team. [ [link removed] ]Can you add a $10 donation right
now so we’ll have the resources we need to get our message in front of
voters and flip this U.S. Senate seat? I don’t take any money from
corporate PACs, so I mean it when I say anything makes a big impact.

Thanks for having my back in this fight,
John. Together, we’ll take back power for
working people and fundamentally change who calls the shots in our
country.

Let’s flip this seat,

Lucas Kunce
