Hi John,  I’m Lucas Kunce — the 13-year Marine veteran,
antitrust advocate, and born-and-raised Missourian running to replace Josh
Hawley in the U.S. Senate.

You know Josh Hawley. He’s the guy who recently went viral for proudly
announcing that he’s "advocating Christian nationalism." Or maybe you
might recognize him better from his actions on January 6th, 2021…

This email is long. But I wanted to take a moment today to reintroduce
myself and tell you more about the historic opportunity we have to defeat
Josh Hawley and take back power for real Missourians this year. Please let
me explain:

[ [link removed] ]Turn on images to see a family photo from Lucas Kunce's youth.

I grew up in mid-Missouri. And like so many other Americans, my family
lived paycheck-to-paycheck. So when my little sister was born with a heart
condition, the medical bills bankrupted us. Maxed-out credit cards and no
money left, times had never been tougher.

But we weren’t alone — our community took care of us. When my parents had
to take my sister to the hospital in St. Louis, our neighbors and friends
took my siblings and me into their homes and brought more meals by the
house than we could ever hope to eat. That’s the Missouri I grew up in.

Their support helped send me to college, and after that I joined the
Marines to honor everything they had done for me and my family growing up.
Got deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Later the Pentagon. I was on the
Joint Staff negotiating arms control agreements with NATO and Russia.

When I came home between tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, one of the hardest
things was seeing what was happening back in my old neighborhood. It was a
community picked for parts — the local corner store boarded up, my first
family house bulldozed to the ground. Here’s all that’s left of it:

While all of us were risking our lives building up towns like Habbaniyah,
Fallujah, and Herat, career politicians like Josh Hawley let our country
waste away. They spent trillions on bailouts, tax breaks, and subsidies
for the industries that stripped our communities for parts — like Wall
Street, Big Pharma, and Big Oil — and then told us they can’t figure out
how to invest even a fraction of that into building up our own country and
investing in our own people.

I saw what was happening — and I was ready to fight back.

So in my final year of active duty, I worked to upend the corporate
defense monopolies that leave our country less safe. I also joined an
organization that fights corporate monopolies — we took on defense
contractors, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, Wall Street. The people buying
off our politicians and leaving the rest of us behind.

And now, I’m running for U.S. Senate to replace Josh Hawley and
fundamentally change who has power in our country — so everyday people run
the show, not massive corporations or corrupt politicians. I want to
abolish corporate PACs, expose lobbyists writing our laws, criminalize war
profiteering, ban insider trading among members of Congress, and enact a
Marshall Plan for the Midwest — a massive investment and job creation
program that will rebuild our forgotten communities and get us off fossil
fuels once and for all.

I want to codify Roe v. Wade, secure voting rights, and ban anti-union
"Right-to-Work" scams forever. I want to put working people in charge of
our country. But I need your help to get it done.

Without a single cent of corporate PAC money, we’re building the
people-powered movement that’s going to defeat Josh Hawley and flip this
Senate seat — and I need you on our team. [ [link removed] ]Please split a donation of
any amount right now to mine and the Progressive Change Campaign
Committee’s campaigns so we can continue building this movement and
finally give power back to everyday, working people.

I’m not just running to make a point — this is a race we can win.

Josh Hawley is vulnerable. In 2018, he won his seat with only 51% of the
vote — and after he exposed himself to be a fraud and a coward on January
6th, he became the least popular Republican Senator up for re-election in
2024.

[ [link removed] ]Turn on images to see polling showing Josh Hawley with lower approval
ratings than even Ted Cruz.

Since Hawley was elected, Missourians have broken with him and taken back
their power at the ballot box by voting to raise the minimum wage, expand
Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act, and legalize cannabis. And this
year, with an initiative to end Missouri’s extreme abortion ban going on
the ballot, we expect even more voters to turn out and protect their
freedom this November.

So if we’re able to communicate to voters that our campaign is about
taking back power for real Missourians, we have a real chance at defeating
Josh Hawley

But I need you on this team to get it done, John. National
insiders and even Hawley’s own campaign have already started attacking me
— and over the coming months, they’re bound to get even more vicious.
That’s why we need to start preparing right now to fight back and deliver
our positive message to voters.

[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in anything you can right now to split between me and the
PCCC so we can keep building this record-breaking grassroots movement and
stay prepared for the fight ahead? I don’t take a cent from corporate
PACs, so I mean it when I say anything makes a big difference to our
campaign.

Together, we can take back power from corrupt politicians like Josh Hawley
and finally put real, everyday people in charge of our country.

Thanks for helping us get it done,
