John,
At the end of last month, I went to Jeff City — our state capital and my hometown — and officially filed the paperwork to put my name on the ballot to represent Missouri in the U.S. Senate. I was honored to have a packed crowd standing with me as we kicked off this campaign.
I got into this race because I want to take back power for everyday people in this country — starting with working families right here in Missouri — and it’s important to me as I travel across the state to both hear from them and amplify their stories.
Keep reading to see what I’ve been up to this quarter:
In January, I talked with hundreds of workers at IBEW Local 1 who know how critical it is for us to make stuff in America again and put our country first in next-generation industries — things I’ll always fight for when I’m in the U.S. Senate.
A few weeks later, I signed the petition to get abortion rights on the ballot in Missouri. Reproductive freedom is on the line this year, and I was honored to join tens of thousands of Missourians signing on to take back our power from control-obsessed elites this November.
I also met up with Missouri Fire Fighters — and got to see even more of their awesome Fire Fighters For Kunce signs! Here’s what they told me that day:
"We look for two things in a Senator: An effective leader who actually fights for us on our issues, and someone we'd trust to dive into a basement fire with us if they were in our unit. Josh Hawley is neither."
Finally, in March, I had the pleasure of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with members of IBEW Local 24. And just earlier this week, I had the opportunity to touch base with Missouri’s Machinist Union about what they need from our state’s leaders.
I’m inspired by the solidarity and determination I’ve witnessed from working people this quarter, and I can’t wait to keep getting out there and meeting with even more Missourians who are ready to take back their power this November.
But right now, my campaign is facing its most critical deadline yet — our first FEC fundraising deadline of 2024 — and we’re working hard to keep breaking records and proving the strength of our grassroots movement. So I’m asking:
If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly:
All the Missourians I met this quarter remind me why this fight is so important. They need a U.S. Senator who will have their back — and I’m ready to serve.
In solidarity,
Lucas Kunce
