[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

Hey John,
it’s Lucas Kunce. I wanted to take some time today to tell you a little
bit about where I come from and what got me into this race. Please let me
explain.

home.

As a kid from a working-class neighborhood in the heart of Central
Missouri, I never expected to run for U.S. Senate.

Like so many Americans, my parents lived paycheck-to-paycheck — and when
my little sister was born with a heart condition, the medical bills
bankrupted us. Maxed-out credit cards and no money left, times had never
been tougher.

But we weren’t alone — our community took care of us.

When my parents had to take my sister to the hospital in St. Louis, our
neighbors and friends took my siblings and me into their homes. And when
we couldn’t afford groceries, they brought more casserole and lasagna by
the house than we could ever hope to eat. That’s the Missouri I grew up
in.

Their support helped send me to college, and after that I joined the
Marines to honor everything they had done for me and my family growing up.

When I came home between tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, one of the hardest
things was seeing what was happening back in my old neighborhood. It was a
community picked for parts — the local corner store boarded up, my first
family house bulldozed to the ground. Here’s all that’s left of it:

While all of us were risking our lives building up towns like Habbaniyah,
Fallujah, and Herat, career politicians like Josh Hawley let our country
waste away. They spent trillions on bailouts, tax breaks, and subsidies
for the industries that stripped our communities for parts — like Wall
Street, Big Pharma, and Big Oil — and then told us they can’t figure out
how to invest even a fraction of that into building up our own country and
investing in our own people.

I’m running for U.S. Senate because it’s time everyday Missourians —
people who know how to take care of each other — called the shots in our
country. [ [link removed] ]And today, I’m asking for your support to make it happen.

If you’re ready to take back power from the massive corporations and
corrupt, career politicians who’ve torn up our country, I need you on this
team.

[ [link removed] ]Can you add a $5 donation right now so we’ll have the
resources we need to get this message in front of voters early in this
race and stand up to the GOP insiders backing Josh Hawley? I don’t take
any money from corporate PACs, so I mean it when I say anything makes a
big impact.
