Hey John, it’s Lucas Kunce.
It’s been a while since you last heard from me, so I wanted to take some time today to catch up and check in about what’s on your mind right now.
Back in early January, I told you that I was called to return to active duty for a few months. That meant I had to step away from Heartland Patriots for a while. But now, I’m off duty for the summer and I’m ready to make the most of it.
Before I get to all the serious stuff, here’s my biggest personal update:
Marilyn and I welcomed our newest little addition to the Kunce family back in April. Everyone is healthy and doing well. Marilyn even graduated with her master’s degree a few weeks later! I’m always in awe of her strength, determination, and resilience.
It’s probably no surprise to you that most things that have happened in our country since January aren’t nearly as good or exciting.
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, disrupted the lives of millions of Americans by slashing funds for critical services and unjustly firing tens of thousands of federal workers.
Control-obsessed politicians at both the state and federal levels have continued their attacks on reproductive freedom — all while actively stripping away resources from mothers, children, and their families.
And most recently, House Republicans proudly passed a tax bill that would line the pockets of billionaire elites at the expense of actual working people. They’re even threatening health coverage and food security for millions of Americans with deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
And it’s all happening while acts of blatant corruption unfold in front of our very eyes.
Today, I’m not asking you for a donation but I am asking for your input.
What has been on your mind over the last few months? How have you and your loved ones been impacted by the actions of the elites in charge of our country right now? If it were up to you, how would we best fight back in this moment? And what are some of the most important qualities you’re looking for in candidates you’re choosing to support right now?
I want to hear whatever you’ll tell me, John. So please, will you take just a few moments today to share your thoughts with me in this short survey?
I’m so grateful that you’re part of this movement, John, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together over the next cycle and beyond.
Now let’s get to work,
— Lucas
