[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

John — Jason
Kander just endorsed Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate! Here’s what he said in
the Kansas City Star:

“Lucas Kunce can defeat Josh Hawley. With Joe Manchin’s retirement taking
West Virginia’s Senate race off the board, Missouri is the perfect
candidate to replace it. And for anyone who cares about democracy,
reproductive freedom, health care access and working families, this race
should be a priority.”

As a veteran and Democrat who served statewide as Secretary of State and
then fell just 2.8% short of defeating Roy Blunt and flipping a U.S.
Senate seat in 2016 (outperforming the Democratic ticket for president by
double digits), Jason Kander knows how to run a competitive race here in
Missouri — and he knows Lucas Kunce has what it takes too:

After decades of Republican-led culture wars, the national Democratic
Party struggles in states like Missouri. But in races where well-funded
candidates can set themselves apart and make it clear to voters that
they’ll fight for them in office, Democrats can outrun the party. And
they can defeat divisive and corrupt opponents.

That’s the dynamic we’re seeing in Missouri’s current U.S. Senate race,
as Democrat Lucas Kunce takes on incumbent Republican Hawley. Much like
my race in 2016, 2024 pits a labor-backed veteran against a politician —
except people actually liked my opponent. (Roy Blunt never tried to
overthrow the government violently just to get his name out there.)

Now up for reelection in 2024, Hawley faces Kunce, a Marine veteran and
leading antitrust advocate who’s broken fundraising records, rallied
Missouri’s election-winning labor movement behind him and built a
reputation as a different kind of Democrat who speaks truth to power,
regardless of party.

Lucas’ background and record-breaking grassroots campaign aren’t the only
reasons why he’s well-positioned to defeat Josh Hawley next year. Hawley’s
actions on January 6th, and his own record in the U.S. Senate, have made
him the most vulnerable GOP Senator running for re-election in 2024:

In Missouri, [Hawley has] become known as a desperately anti-union scab
who is self-consciously obsessed with manhood. From blocking defense
nominations to voting against health care for veterans exposed to burn
pits, Hawley has put his personal politics ahead of national security
and the needs of military families. And he’s used his office to build a
family business dedicated to restricting abortion access nationwide as
his allies in Jefferson City enacted one of the nation’s most extreme
abortion bans.

Now with five years under Hawley’s belt in the U.S. Senate, Missourians
don’t like what they’ve seen.

Multiple public polls — including one from Morning Consult released last
month — show Hawley has the lowest approval of any Republican senator
running for reelection in 2024, lower than Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and
Rick Scott of Florida. And even his mentor, Missouri’s former U.S. Sen.
John Danforth, has called backing Hawley the “worst mistake I ever
made.”

Donald Trump is well aware Hawley’s seat is in danger. “So interesting
that the Democrats are looking hard at the Senate races in both Missouri
and Texas,” he posted Sunday on his vanity social media site Truth
Social. “Josh and Ted must be very careful, stranger things have
happened!!!”

From his recent polling to his crumbling support base, we have never had a
better opportunity to defeat Josh Hawley and elect a real warrior for
working people to Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat.
