John — Josh Hawley’s allies in the U.S. House are moving forward a plan to add a 30% nationwide sales tax on top of record-high living costs (+ cutting Social Security and Medicare) — and here’s what Hawley has to say about it:

Nothing.

If he cared at all about the working class in our state or our country, he’d be calling this tax hike exactly what it is:

Armed robbery against the American people.

I’m running to replace Hawley in the U.S. Senate because Missourians deserve a warrior who will stand up for them in the face of attacks on their way of life — not a fraud and a coward who runs away when things get tough.

Between now and Election Day, I’m going to spend every moment I can holding him accountable for abandoning everyday people in our state just like he is with this tax hike — and with enough grassroots support, we’ll be able to get that message in front of voters so we can beat Hawley and take this Senate seat back for working people. That’s why today, I’m asking:

Can you split a donation of $24 or just whatever you can today between my campaign and No Dem Left Behind so we can put our message in front of Missouri voters and hold Josh Hawley accountable for betraying the American people? Your early support will be the difference maker in ensuring this campaign starts strong from the start.

I grew up in a working class neighborhood in the middle of Missouri. My family lived paycheck-to-paycheck. And when my sister was born with a heart condition, the medical bills bankrupted us. We only got by because of the support offered by our friends and neighbors — people who were often no better off than we were.

The idea of not just us, but everyone in our community having to pay 30% more on nearly everything they buy, while corporate executives and Wall Street bankers get a tax cut… There’s no better word for it than theft.

In the U.S. Senate, I’ll work to build an economy where no working family has to ever struggle to get by like mine did. And I won’t run away or shut my mouth when things get tough — I’ll stand and fight.

Thanks for standing with me when it matters most,

Lucas Kunce
