I’m a born-and-raised Missourian who watched with horror when Josh Hawley raised his fist at insurrectionists outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, then ran out the back door when they stormed the building later that day. I’ve seen communities across my home state torn apart because of cowardly politicians like him — and I’m not willing to sit on the sidelines in this election. So before I ask you to [split a donation of $10 or whatever you can today between my friend Lucas Kunce’s campaign to replace Josh Hawley and Fight for Reform to elect pro-democracy Democrats]( please let me tell you why: [SUPPORT LUCAS KUNCE »]( Most of my family is from a town in Missouri called Ste. Genevieve, about 60 miles south of St. Louis. I’ve watched their community go downhill for years. While corrupt politicians shipped jobs overseas and voted to give handouts to Wall Street and their corporate allies, everyday people just trying to survive in the place they call home ran out of money and opportunities. Our leaders abandoned them — and Josh Hawley is the perfect example. Instead of fighting for what would make the communities in my home state stronger, Josh Hawley has been busy engaging in the out-of-touch culture wars that only divide us — all so he can get more and more power for himself. That’s what we saw on January 6th, 2021. Hawley raised his fist at rioters outside the Capitol because he thought it would make himself look strong. But when sh*t got real, he ran out the back door like a coward — away from the same people he was claiming to support just hours earlier. What’s even more ridiculous? Since that day, Hawley has desperately tried to convince all of us that he’s the authority on what it means to be a man in this country. He even published a whole book about it earlier this year: [Image of Josh Hawley with his fist raised]( Well… when I think about manhood, I think about courage. And that’s not something you can write a book about. Missouri is the Show Me State. Courage is something you have to show us. That’s why I’m supporting Lucas Kunce for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat. As a born-and-raised Missourian who joined the Marines to serve the community that took care of him growing up, Lucas has already shown us that he knows the true meaning of courage. Lucas knows courage is about standing up to the powerful and working to rebuild our state. And he knows real leaders fight to empower everyday people and secure our future for generations to come — not for their own power or profit. So, if you want to be told about manhood, some guy wrote a book about it. [But if you want someone to show you real courage, please join me in supporting Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate by splitting a donation of $10 between his campaign and Fight for Reform today.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Fight for Reform and Lucas Kunce will go through immediately: [CONTRIBUTE $10 »]( [CONTRIBUTE $25 »]( [CONTRIBUTE $50 »]( [CONTRIBUTE $100 »]( [Or a custom donation »]( Lucas worked hard over the last year to put Missouri’s Senate race on the map. From calling out Josh Hawley’s blatant corruption to building a coalition of working people, pro-democracy organizations, and local leaders across Missouri — he is Democrats’ best chance to defeat a GOP incumbent and flip a U.S. Senate seat this election cycle. He’s building a truly grassroots campaign, without a cent from corporate PACs, to defeat Hawley and take back power for everyday working Missourians — just like my friends and family in Ste. Genevieve. It has never been more important to elect a warrior for working people like Lucas Kunce to the U.S. Senate.
