Multi-billion dollar liability

KC Star: US funding for MO projects falls as Hawley, Schmitt opt out [Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate] {NAME} — if we give Josh Hawley another six years in the U.S. Senate, his negligence will add up to a multi-billion dollar liability for Missourians. [Kansas City Star headline: US funding for MO projects falls as Hawley, Schmitt opt out.]( Missouri’s former Senior Senator Roy Blunt secured more than $350 million for our state in his final year in the U.S. Senate. But now, recent reporting from the Kansas City Star found that Missouri lost out on hundreds of millions of dollars under the leadership of Missouri’s current Senior Senator, Josh Hawley. These funds typically cover critical investments — like improvements at state universities, upgrades for local police departments, and aid for community groups. But instead of doing his job and fighting for that money to come home to Missouri, Josh Hawley has only thought about himself. After he violated Missouri open records laws, Missouri taxpayers were on the hook for more than $250,000 — which Hawley refuses to pay back: [Headline from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: MO taxpayers paid more than $250,000 for Josh Hawley's open records violations.]( On top of that, he’s been busy making money on the side with book sales — like his creepy “Manhood” book — and raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars more than his Congressional salary. [Business Insider headline: This Republican senator nearly tripled his congressional salary courtesy of a quirk in federal law. Excerpt: GOP Senator Josh Hawley is the latest lawmaker to reveal a significant publishing income. He disclosed $467,000 in book royalties, far more than his $174,000 salary for being a senator.]( If Hawley has another six-year term in the U.S. Senate, Missouri could lose out on over $2 BILLION in funding. That’s a major liability for Missourians. Lucas Kunce is running to replace Hawley because it’s time we had a U.S. Senator who will fight like hell for investment in Missouri’s communities — not another self-obsessed politician who can’t be bothered to actually fight for our state.
