[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate
Hey John,
it’s Caleb, Lucas Kunce’s campaign manager.
I don’t reach out like this very often, but I wanted to share a few
important updates before I ask you to chip in toward our $300,000
end-of-month goal.

Since I last updated you in September, our campaign has been firing on all
cylinders — holding Josh Hawley accountable, getting Lucas out across the
state, and, with your support, continuing to build a record-breaking
grassroots movement.

over $5.4M in 2023 for campaign against Josh Hawley, the largest-ever
off-year fundraising haul for a Missouri Senate challenger.
We already had the first poll showing Lucas and Hawley in a dead heat, but
just days after major victories for red-state Democrats and abortion
rights in Kentucky and Ohio, we got something we didn’t expect — another
new public poll confirming that Lucas and Hawley are in a statistical tie
for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat.

of upsetting Josh Hawley. Two polls beneath. Poll 1: Lucas Kunce 43%, Josh
Hawley 44%, Margin of Error +/- 3% | Poll 2: Lucas Kunce 42%, Josh Hawley
46%, Margin of Error 4.9%
Lucas earned major endorsements from critical in-state organizations
throughout the last 12 months, including the Missouri AFL-CIO and the
Missouri Fire Fighters, who threw their support behind Lucas earlier than
they ever had before for a Senate challenger.
But these new polls put a national spotlight on our race, and key
organizations like End Citizens United // Let America Vote and League of
Conservation Voters officially weighed in on our race by endorsing Lucas:

Meanwhile, Hawley’s approval polling — which was already pretty dismal —
continued to get even worse. The latest reporting from Morning Consult
confirmed that Hawley remains the least popular GOP U.S. Senator up for
re-election this year, with numbers even lower than Senators Ted Cruz in
Texas and Rick Scott in Florida.

Now, it’s January 2024, and we’re on track to have one of our best months
yet.
We started off with a bang by holding Josh Hawley accountable on the
three-year anniversary of his infamous cowardice on January 6th. Then,
with the announcement of a new ballot initiative to enshrine abortion
rights in Missouri, we harnessed the energy of our grassroots movement and
raised thousands of dollars to help Missourians for Constitutional Freedom
get off the ground.

place constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot. Subtitle: In the 19
months since that ruling, abortion-rights advocates have won every race in
which the issue has appeared directly on the ballot.
Our grassroots momentum is undeniable. That’s why national insiders and
corporate elites have already spent BIG to prop up Hawley’s campaign. They
know Lucas isn’t afraid to stand up to their broken status quo — and they
know that Lucas’ message is exactly what we need to take back power for
working families in this election.
But I’ll be honest, John. As
we await Q4 reports to be filed with the FEC on the last day of this
month, I’m getting nervous about what we’ll see on Hawley’s report.
Those pro-Hawley DC insiders made significant investments into our race
last year, through transfers to Hawley’s campaign and through a brand new
Super PAC they’ve already funded with more than $1 MILLION. And after our
campaign gained so much momentum, we know they’re only going to ramp up
their spending and attacks.
It has never been more important for our campaign to stay prepared. That’s
why today, I’m reaching out to ask you to contribute to our most
aggressive monthly goal yet — $300,000 raised online before the end of
January.
[ [link removed] ]Can Lucas count on you to chip in a donation of any amount right now to
help us reach this goal, fight back against the insiders trying to buy
this seat, and defeat Josh Hawley this November? This is our chance to
take Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat back for working families — and we can’t
afford to waste it.
