[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate
Hey John,
it’s Lucas Kunce.
I wanted to take some time today to talk about our country’s greatest
asset. A force that built our country. A force that defended our country.
And a force that created the middle-class way of life in our country.
As our nation found itself under attack in World War II, they mobilized in
the workplace and on the battlefield, becoming the key to turning the tide
against fascism.
In the face of a political status quo that violently defended segregation,
voter suppression, and discrimination in countless forms, they united with
civil rights leaders to fight equality and justice — and continue to
today.
And when union-busters and corporate political machines tried to break
them, they banded together to demand dignity for everyday people, securing
safer workplaces, 8-hour workdays, weekends, and benefits like paid leave,
healthcare, and retirement for millions of Americans — all while building
our country from the ground up.
So, any guesses?
Our country’s greatest asset is the American worker — and I want to join
you this Labor Day in honoring the critical role they’ve played in
creating our way of life.
But celebrating their accomplishments is not enough.
Massive corporations and the corrupt politicians they’ve bought off have
launched an all-out assault on our workers. Through corporate PACs,
powerful lobbyists, and state-by-state assaults on unions, now only a
handful of massive companies dominate our economy in a system that’s
rigged against working people.
It has destroyed family farms, made the costs of life-saving drugs
skyrocket, suppressed wages, made it impossible for small businesses to
compete, and shipped countless jobs overseas. And after they finish
stripping our communities for parts, they leave behind forgotten towns and
neighborhoods filled with boarded-up buildings and empty lots.
It’s class warfare from the top — and this is not a war we can afford to
lose.
We need a new generation of leadership ready to lead, fight, and organize
against corrupt corporate elites in both parties who’ve used division and
obstruction to prevent every effort to empower American workers — efforts
like passing the PRO Act, guaranteeing a living wage, breaking up Big Ag,
Big Tech, the pharmaceutical cartels, and the rest of the monopolists
whose goal is to destroy our way of life.
Thanks to years of corrupt political leadership in Missouri, our state has
become the frontline in this fight. And that’s why I’m running for U.S.
Senate to be a warrior for working people — with the support of the
Missouri AFL-CIO, Missouri Fire Fighters, and so many other members of
organized labor across this state.
I hope you’ll join us on the battlefield.
In solidarity,
Lucas Kunce
A note from Team Kunce
Without a single cent from corporate PACs, we’ve built a
record-breaking, people-powered movement to defeat Josh Hawley and flip
Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat. But we can’t afford to slow down now.
GOP mega-donors and corporate elites are already spending MILLIONS to
tear down Lucas and keep control of this Senate seat. [ [link removed] ]So if you’re
