John,
The next big test for our campaign — our last end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline of 2023 — is coming up on December 31st.
Before we ask you to add a donation of any amount to help our campaign stay on track through the end of this month, will you please let us share more about what this deadline means for our movement here in Missouri?
Every three months, the Federal Election Commission requires every candidate running for federal office to submit the full report of their campaign’s fundraising numbers into the public record — everything from how much we’ve raised, how many donations we’ve received, and who we’ve received those donations from.
These quarterly reports are an important measure of transparency. They give the public an opportunity to look under the hood of our grassroots movement and hold us accountable. But everyday people aren’t the only ones paying attention.
GOP insiders, members of the media, and even Josh Hawley himself will have access to all this information too — and they’ll use it to make all kinds of judgments about the strength of our campaign. So here’s the reality:
We outraised Hawley’s campaign over the first nine months of this year, but we can’t take that granted this quarter — ESPECIALLY since national Republicans and corporate mega-donors have already shown their willingness to spend millions to make Hawley look strong and fund attacks against Lucas.
So we need all hands on deck this month, John. We need this grassroots team to show up, and when we submit our report after December 31st, we need your name to be on it.
That’s why we’re asking earlier than normal: Will you help our campaign stay on track to have another record-breaking fundraising quarter by adding a donation of $25, $10, or whatever you think is best today? Lucas isn’t taking a cent from corporate PACs or shady mega-donors in this race, so we’re counting on working people like you every step of the way.
If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly:
Let’s prove to everyone that we’re building the grassroots movement that can defeat Josh Hawley, flip Missouri’s Senate seat, and take back power for working people in 2024!
We’re so glad to have you on this team, John.
Team Lucas Kunce
