[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

Hey John,
it’s Lucas Kunce with some exciting news.

I’m officially the Democratic nominee in the race to replace January 6th
coward Josh Hawley in the U.S. Senate.

In a moment, I’ll tell you more about where I come from and why I’m on a
mission to take back power for everyday people this November. [ [link removed] ]But
first, can I count on you to make a donation of any amount toward my
campaign today? With so much on the line this November, investing in our
Senate campaign to defeat Josh Hawley could be your chance to make a real
difference.

[ [link removed] ]A family photo from Lucas's childhood.

I grew up in a working class neighborhood in mid-Missouri. 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 — to put everyday people
in charge of their own bodies, families, and lives. 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 end Missouri’s total abortion ban, 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 to get it done. [ [link removed] ]Will you
please make a donation of any amount toward my campaign right now so we
can start the general election off strong and take back power for real
Missourians this November?
