Hey John, I’m Lucas’ campaign manager. It’s been a few months since you’ve heard from me, and the frank reason is this: The last few months have been crazy.
First, National Republicans launched a bizarre campaign against Lucas attacking him for… playing a card game and having been a cheerleader in college. No, really.
Just 12 days later, we learned we had outraised Josh Hawley for Q1. Not long after, the Missouri Fire Fighters endorsed Lucas against Hawley — despite having endorsed Republican Senators in the past. Both were huge early signs for Lucas’ ability to win.
Then, Lucas and Marilyn welcomed Harvey to the world — but Harvey came 7 weeks early, which meant Lucas had to spend time off the campaign trail as he traveled between home and the NICU. He’s out and doing great now too!
The Missouri AFL-CIO endorsed Lucas, along with many more statewide and local labor unions. Since Lucas got back on the trail, we had a big pro-worker rally in St. Louis with hundreds of everyday Missourians fired up to elect Lucas and defeat Hawley — along with packed crowds at events covering every corner of the state!
With the support of Missouri’s election-winning labor coalition, along with a record-breaking movement of grassroots donors, Lucas’ campaign has simply been on fire the last few months. And it’s making a difference. New polling shows Josh Hawley is the least popular incumbent of any GOP Senator up in 2024 — even more unpopular than Ted Cruz and Rick Scott! This race is turning into a dead heat:
But with all this success, it’s gotten Hawley worried. Don’t just take my word for it — here’s a message he sent his donors just a few days ago: “Missouri could be one of the closest Senate races in America. In fact, control of the Senate could come down to us.”
And now, corporate elites and GOP mega-donors have launched a new Super PAC to prop up Hawley and attack Lucas, already seeding it with $1 MILLION. If you think that makes me nervous, you’d be right — but it’s also the surest sign yet that Lucas Kunce can win this race.
