Hey John, I’m Caleb — Lucas Kunce’s queer campaign manager.
Lucas is the 13-year Marine veteran running for Missouri’s open U.S. Senate seat. Earlier this week, I learned his top primary opponent, Trudy Busch Valentine, dumped $1 MILLION into false attack ads claiming Lucas doesn't support my rights.
In a moment, I’m going to ask you to chip in $10 or more to help us fight back against these false attacks and win this primary on August 2. But first, let me explain what’s happening in Missouri…
Over the last 17 months, we’ve built the most LGBTQ+ inclusive team I’ve ever been a part of in Missouri. Lucas has had my back 100% from the start, and he’s been a champion for all of us. Together, we sparked a record-breaking grassroots movement to flip a Senate seat.
That’s the truth about me, Lucas, and the 18-person campaign team we’ve put together here in Missouri. But sadly, in our broken system, billionaire families and political elites don’t give a damn about the truth.
They care about two things: Money and power.
That’s why a candidate like Trudy will give $5 million from her family fortune to her own campaign, then lie to everyday people about “needing” their support for their “grassroots” campaign.
That’s why candidates like Trudy think that it “doesn’t matter at all” when voters have questions about their decades-long involvement in organizations rooted in white supremacy, like the Veiled Prophet Society…
And why they can get away with launching desperately dishonest attack ads slandering a Marine veteran like Lucas by falsely claiming he and his queer-led campaign don’t support the LGBTQ+ community — when Trudy doesn’t even support gender-affirming care for trans youth.
Trudy Busch Valentine and the corrupt political elites running her campaign might not care about the truth, but the queer-led team backing Lucas does. That’s why we issued a cease and desist to Trudy’s campaign demanding immediate action.
But while we wait for the legal process, Trudy is still spending millions on these false ads to try and buy the Democratic nomination on August 2nd.
We need to set the record straight and FIGHT BACK NOW. So please, if you can, chip in any amount to help elect Lucas Kunce today. We don’t take a cent from corporate PACs or federal lobbyists — this campaign is entirely powered by real people just like you.
