John,
Our team recently reached out to ask what questions you have about me or this campaign we’re building together. This week, I sat down to answer a few:
What guarantee do your constituents have that you will be a Senator that truly represents them and not lobbyists or just votes along party lines?
– Theresa, Clinton County
You probably won’t hear this from other politicians, but I know that how a candidate chooses to fund their campaign has a real impact on who they actually serve in office.
That’s why, since the first day we launched this campaign to take on Josh Hawley, I’ve been committed to fundraising the right way — without a single cent from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, or Big Oil and Big Pharma execs.
The only people I want to serve in the U.S. Senate are everyday Missourians like the ones who took care of my family after we were bankrupted by medical bills — not the shady corporate elites and mega-donors who’ve made it their business to strip communities across our state, like the one I grew up in, for parts.
In the Senate, I’ll fight for investment in Missouri, to rebuild our forgotten communities, and to finally put everyday Missourians in charge of their own bodies, families, and lives again. And I’ll work with anyone, of any party, to get those things done. That’s my promise to you, and to every Missourian, this year.
How will you support unions and/or fight against Right to Work for our hard-working Missourians in union jobs?
– Krista, Cape Girardeau County
Labor built this country, and labor will build our future. I’m proud of the truly worker-led coalition we’ve built to take back this Senate seat, with endorsements from dozens of statewide and local unions in every corner of Missouri.
The Missouri AFL-CIO and the Missouri Fire Fighters made their earliest endorsements for a Senate challenger ever in our race because they know there’s only one candidate who will actually fight for workers — and it’s not Josh Hawley.
They know that I’ll pass the PRO Act, so that we can end the threat of “Right to Work” scams across the country and empower workers in their workplaces.
And beyond those protections, I want to build the next generation of energy right here in America — creating generations of good jobs in essential industries, strengthening our national security, and rebuilding communities across our state and nation.
Do you support protecting social security and Medicare?
– Judith, St. Charles County
I’ll always protect every dollar people like you spend their lives working to earn. And I’ll stand up against any and all attempts to “privatize” or “sunset” Social Security — like Rick Scott, who Hawley wants to make his leader in the U.S. Senate, has been threatening for years.
Social Security Works PAC was the first national organization to endorse our campaign because they know I’ll fight to get you every dollar you’re owed from these critical benefits, and that I won’t let anyone get in my way. It’s that simple.
BONUS QUESTION: What is the most influential, simple, easy, cost effective way for people to help you in your campaign?
– Tyler, Clay County
There are a few ways you can help.
Sign up to volunteer. Later this summer, we’ll have volunteer opportunities available in-person and online for supporters like you to get involved. Use the button below to sign up, and our team will reach out when we have opportunities online or in your area.
Spread the word. Tell your friends and family about our campaign. Share our message on your own social media, and spread the reach of our movement. It’s going to be a real fight to take back this Senate seat, and we’re going to need your help to do it every step of the way.
Make a donation. Like I mentioned before, I’m not taking a cent from corporate PACs in this race. I’m counting on real people like you to fuel this movement forward. It could be $3, $30, or $3,300 — every donation, no matter the amount, gives our campaign the resources to communicate our message to voters between now and November 5. And that’s exactly what it’ll take to win this race.
Thanks for reading along, John.
I hope you’re having a good weekend.
— Lucas
