[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

John — My name
is Caleb Cavarretta, and I’m Lucas Kunce’s campaign manager.

This is a long email… But in a moment, I’m going to share with you what we
learned about our primary opponent’s plans to launch false attacks on
Lucas with negative TV ads — [ [link removed] ]and then I’m going to ask you to rush a
donation to defend Lucas and put his positive message in front of voters.

But before I do, I wanted to share with you a bit more about how we’ve
built this movement. Please, let me explain.

After 13 years of active duty as a Marine Corps officer followed by
advocacy against corporate corruption, Lucas Kunce launched his campaign
to flip this U.S. Senate seat. That’s when I met Lucas — and as someone
who’s worked for years to elect Democrats in Missouri like Nicole Galloway
and Jason Kander, I can say this with pride: The grassroots movement we’ve
built is historic.

Since launch, we haven’t just outraised Democrats in the race — we’ve
outraised every single Republican candidate running for U.S. Senate in
Missouri, including GOP frontrunner Eric Greitens. That’s never been done
by a non-politician until now.

But we didn’t just beat them all. We raised this support the right way,
with grassroots support from every single Missouri county and the city of
St. Louis. We earned support from leaders like Ferguson Mayor Ella Jones,
and national grassroots organizations like VoteVets and the League of
Conservation Voters. And polling shows we’re the only candidate that makes
this race a dead heat in November against Greitens.

[ [link removed] ]Latest General Election Polling in Missouri's U.S. Senate race: Eric
Greitens (R) vs. Lucas Kunce (D) — <1% (Trafalgar Group | March 2022).
Eric Greitens (R) vs. Trudy Busch Valentine (D) — +9% (Remington Research
| April 2022). Margin of error +/- 3%.

And we did it without taking a single cent from corporate PACs, Big Pharma
and Big Oil execs, and federal lobbyists.

Because of the strength of this grassroots movement, I wasn’t worried when
Trudy Busch Valentine decided to make our Democratic primary competitive
by entering on the final day of candidate filing. I know that our message
didn’t need to change — because we were fighting for everyday people in
this race, and Trudy claimed to be doing the same.

But then, over the weekend, I was given disturbing news. Multiple voters
and supporters across Missouri have informed us that they’ve been
contacted for a poll conducted by Trudy Busch Valentine’s team that
included a series of false attacks on Lucas, paired with statements of
praise for Trudy.

Any seasoned campaigner can tell you the goal of a poll like this is
crystal clear: Trudy wants to buy the nomination, and she’s preparing to
launch negative TV ads against Lucas to undermine our grassroots movement.

We can’t just wait for these false attacks to hit the airwaves — we have
to be ready to set the record straight and put Lucas’ message in front of
voters across Missouri. [ [link removed] ]So please, can you rush a donation of any
amount you can today to help us fight back and elect Lucas?

Our campaign is on a mission to fundamentally change who has power in our
country — so we’re not surprised to see the broken status quo fight back.
But the stakes are too high to let them win.

Lucas Kunce is our best chance to defeat Eric Greitens or any of the other
criminal politicians that the GOP might put up against us in November.
He’s the warrior for working people that we need in the U.S. Senate.

And here’s my commitment to you: This campaign will do whatever it takes
for working families. And that starts with flipping this U.S. Senate seat
in November.

Thanks for being on this team when it matters most,

Caleb Cavarretta
Campaign Manager
Lucas Kunce for Missouri
