Hi John — Last week’s FEC filings showed our record-breaking campaign outraised every single candidate in this U.S. Senate race — Republican and Democrat.
We’ve spent the last year working hard to put this race on the map, and now public polling shows not only are we in the lead for our August 2nd primary — we’re also the only Democrat that can beat Eric Greitens and flip this seat. For other Democrats, it’s not even close.
Help us keep up our momentum! Chip in »
While all the data shows we’ve built a people-powered movement that’s on track to win this primary and flip this U.S. Senate seat in November, it shows something else to our top primary opponent, billionaire heiress Trudy Busch Valentine: Despite giving her campaign $2 million from her family fortune, she’s losing.
But yesterday, we learned how she took the news: She just wrote herself a $1 million check to try and buy the Democratic nomination in the final 2 weeks of our primary.

After seeing the Senate filibuster stand in the way of action on abortion rights, voting rights, investment in renewable energy, the PRO Act, and so much more progress, I think it matters how you raise your money. That’s why we’ve built a grassroots movement here in Missouri.
Real people have chipped in more than 120,000 individual donations, with support coming from every single county in Missouri. 98% under $200. And $0 from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, Big Pharma execs, and fossil fuel execs.
Here’s how that stacks us up with Democrats running for Senate across the country:
We’re in good company. In the final weeks of this primary, we have ads up on TV, hundreds of volunteers knocking doors and making calls, and I’ll continue traveling to every corner of the state. We’ve built a campaign that can flip this U.S. Senate seat, end the filibuster, and fundamentally change who has power in our country.

I’m a kid from a working-class neighborhood in mid-Missouri. We didn’t have much growing up. My parents struggled to pay the bills and when my little sister was born with a heart condition, we went bankrupt. Maxed-out credit cards, without a dollar to our name, we relied on my neighbors to help us make it through. Black and white, young and old, we all took care of each other. That’s where I come from.
I’m running for U.S. Senate to put people like that in charge of our country — real people who put their communities first — because we’ve seen how things turn out when billionaires and corrupt politicians call the shots.
And I’m not afraid to ask for help. Real people helped my family make it through when I was growing up. And a people-powered movement is the only way we can win this race. I’m not relying on a family fortune. I’m not relying on corporate PACs or dark money billionaires. I’m relying on real people like you.
Together, we’re going to fundamentally change who has power in our country — starting right here in Missouri.
Thank you,
Lucas
