Hi John, it’s Lucas Kunce.
Before I ask you to add a donation to my campaign before our November fundraising deadline tomorrow, 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.
We got by thanks to the generosity of our neighbors and people around town. 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, their support helped me go to college. And after that I joined the Marines to honor everything our community did for me and my family growing up.
But when I came home between tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, our old neighborhood had been picked for parts — our local corner store was boarded up, our family’s first home in the neighborhood was bulldozed to the ground. Now it’s an empty lot:
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. 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. 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
