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.
