[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

Hey John,
it’s Lucas.

I know it’s early, but I wanted to take a moment this morning to share a
story with you about the Missouri I grew up in — and why Josh Hawley
doesn’t know a thing about it. Will you please let me explain?

neighborhood. On right: Photo of young Joshua Hawley.

On the right is Joshua Hawley. While his banker daddy was sending him to a
fancy prep school miles from his hometown, my family and I were relying on
our neighbors to survive bankruptcy and medical bills in mid-Missouri — in
a community where people took care of each other. That’s us on the left.

When Hawley graduated from law school, he joined one of the world’s most
elite corporate law firms. I joined the Marine Corps to pay back the
community in Missouri that took care of me and my family. And when he was
climbing the ladder to become another corrupt politician, I was serving my
country — and then working to prevent the pointless overseas wars that
make us less safe.

right: Missouri Independent headline about Hawley's knowingly violating
transparency laws as during his time as Attorney General to benefit his
2018 Senate campaign.

While Josh Hawley aligned himself with the same giant corporations who’ve
spent decades attacking Missouri workers and shipping away our jobs, I’ve
been fighting to take back power for American workers and small
businesses.

corporate consolidation.' On right: Labor Tribune headline that reads
'Hawley has been a vocal supporter of implementing Right-to-Work in
Missouri.

And when Hawley voted against relief for veterans like me who were exposed
to toxic burn pits, I stood up alongside thousands of veterans to hold him
accountable.

in Iraq; Republicans turned their backs on veterans like me.' On right:
YahooNews headline that reads 'Blunt, Hawley vote to stall bill expanding
health care for veterans exposed to burn pits.'

The Missouri I grew up in taught us to take care of one another. To do
your duty. To serve and sacrifice for your fellow Missourians.

Josh Hawley doesn’t know that Missouri — and on January 6th, 2021, he
showed us the only thing he’s learned is how to be a fraud and a coward.

Capitol on January 6.

Josh Hawley hasn't just abandoned our state and our values. He's
embarrassed himself and all of Missouri. And embarrassing Missouri...
That’s something I can't let go.

Missourians deserve a US Senator who will stand up and fight for them —
and unlike Josh, I'm ready to serve. If you’re ready to help us make sure
every Missouri voter knows it before they vote on Election Day, I need
your help:

[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in any amount you can afford to our campaign right now so
we can get our message in front of voters? The only way we’ll be able to
flip this Senate seat is if we build a powerful grassroots movement, and
support from real people like you is the best way we can do it.

If we keep working together, we can take back power for working
Missourians and everyday people all across the country.

Thanks for all your help,

— Lucas
