I'm looking forward to talking with PCCC members like you tonight about my race for U.S. Senate in Missouri.
Got questions about my campaign? The Republicans I'm running against? The new poll in my race that Politico reports has national Republicans running scared? How we can take back power from corrupt corporate-funded politicians like Joe Manchin blocking critical investments in our country? I'm ready to answer!
(Can't make it but want to help take back power from the giant corporations and career politicians who’ve stripped our communities for parts? Chip in to my campaign for U.S. Senate in Missouri here!)
Before our Zoom call tonight, I wanted to take a moment to tell you a little bit about where I come from and what got me into the U.S. Senate race in Missouri.
As a kid from a working class neighborhood right in the heart of Missouri, running for the U.S. Senate was never part of my plan.
Like so many others, my family struggled to make ends meet. Maxed-out credit cards. Living paycheck-to-paycheck. And when my little sister was born with a heart condition, we went bankrupt and times had never been tougher.
But we weren’t alone -- friends and neighbors came together to support us. They helped me go to college, and after that I joined the Marines to honor everything they gave to me.
Between tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, one of the hardest things was coming home and seeing what was happening in my old neighborhood. A community picked for parts -- the corner store where my mom floated a check boarded up, my first family house bulldozed to the ground. Here’s all that’s left of it:
While my buddies and I risked our lives building up towns like Habbaniyah, Fallujah, and Herat, career politicians and the corporate elites backing them let our country waste away. Even now, after spending 20 years and $6.4 trillion on pointless forever wars, defense contractors, and nation building abroad, they can’t figure out how to invest a fraction of that amount back into America.
I’m running for U.S. Senate because it’s time everyday Americans -- people who know how to take care of each other -- called the shots in this country.
Are you ready to take back power from the giant corporations and corrupt, career politicians who’ve stripped our communities for parts? Want to hear more about what that looks like and how we're going to do it?
Can't make the Zoom call but want to help? Make a $3 donation to my campaign here so we’ll have the resources we need to get our message in front of voters and flip Missouri's U.S. Senate seat. I don’t take any money from corporate PACs, so I mean it when I say anything makes a big impact.)
Thank you so much for all your support and I hope we'll be able to meet on the Zoom call tonight!
