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.”[link removed] [[link removed]]

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.
