This is Lucas Kunce, running for U.S. Senate in Missouri. John
— many Americans spend weeks or months trying to get the drugs they need.
They pay more for them too, if they’re lucky enough to get them at all.
Big Pharma bankrupts and kills us, and Washington lets them get away with
it.

They call it a free market. I call it a cartel. Please let me explain:

[ [link removed] ]Donate

Just three wholesalers control about 90% of drug distribution for
pharmacies. A handful of giant overseas corporations control 80% of our
drug supply chain. And now we have drug shortages for everything from
cancer drugs to Adderall.

Everyday people suffer, some even die, but Big Pharma will still get
record profits — that's what monopoly power looks like.

US patients, experts say

The facts are clear on this: We CAN make these essential drugs in America
and get them to those who need them. But Big Pharma chooses not to.

To their top executives and biggest elite shareholders, record-breaking
profits matter more than the shortages that cost Americans their lives and
livelihoods.

And, of course, there’s a reason our politicians haven’t already done
something big about these drug shortages. Money.

That's why my campaign doesn’t take a cent from Big Pharma executives. And
it's the reason I’m fighting to ban stock ownership for members of
Congress, judges, and regulators (including fake "blind" trusts).

Skyrocketing prices and record shortages for essential drugs are more than
just cause for concern — that’s a CRISIS. Congress MUST act. If Big Pharma
won't get us the drugs we need, America needs to start making them
ourselves.

That’s why when I’m in the U.S. Senate, I'll file legislation to change
Big Pharma's incentives. I’ll fight to make sure that when Big Pharma
fails to deliver essential drugs to the Americans who need them, they
won't just have to worry about bad press or long lines… They'll risk
losing that market to a new Made-In-America competitor with generic
prices.

With my plan, America will find, build, or modify the facilities necessary
to make the essential drugs Big Pharma is failing to deliver (right now,
30% of American pharmaceutical manufacturing sites are already at or below
50% utilization). Then we’ll find the businesses and workers to run them
on contracts that put patriotism over extreme profits.

We’ll have American-made drugs that Americans can actually afford. And
we'll make them in places like Missouri, where we need good jobs and we
already have the bio-pharma infrastructure to get it done.

When we cut through the corporate corruption and political phoniness
that’s gripping Washington, there is so much we can achieve for Missouri
and our entire country — creating jobs, getting people the medications
they need at a price they can afford, and building up the American workers
and businesses that make our nation strong.

Senate by splitting a donation of $3 or any amount you think is best
between my campaign and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee today? I
don’t take a single cent from corporate PACs so that when I’m elected,
I’ll always work for real people like you.

John, unlike Josh Hawley, I’m not afraid to call these
companies out for what they are: A dangerous cartel that’s exploiting
everyday Americans.

When I’m elected to the U.S. Senate, I’ll work to do more than just break
up Big Pharma and make sure Americans can access the life-saving drugs
they need — I’ll fight to see these corrupt corporations prosecuted for
what they've done to us.

And I can promise you this: I’ll fight like hell against any corrupt
politician who gets in my way — in OUR way.

Thanks for always standing with me,

— Lucas Kunce
