[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

Hi John, it’s
Lucas Kunce.

Before I ask you to add a donation of any amount toward our biggest
end-of-month fundraising goal yet, I wanted to take some time to share a
little bit more about the community I grew up in and why I’m running for
Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat.

Will you please let me explain?

I grew up in a working-class neighborhood in mid-Missouri — and like so
many other American families, mine lived paycheck-to-paycheck. So 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 took the rest of us kids into their homes while my
parents were with my sister at the hospital over 100 miles away. And when
we were all home together, our neighbors brought more meals by the house
than we could ever hope to eat.

Eventually, our community helped me go to college. And after that I joined
the Marines to honor everything they did for me and my family 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 our 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
