Memorial Day

[Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate] {NAME} — Memorial Day always makes me think about the people I served with in Iraq and Afghanistan — some of America's best — and how we can honor them. Please let me explain.

While we fought and died to keep terrorism out of our own country, our politicians let domestic terrorists run rampant — plaguing our country with gun violence and turning elementary schools and grocery stores into war zones. And now, those same war-hungry crooks like Josh Hawley, who dumped trillions into nation-building abroad, lined the pockets of their defense contractor donors, and let us fight and die in these pointless wars are telling us we can’t “afford” to invest in our people and communities here at home. We can’t let these lying elites continue calling the shots. That’s why I’m running for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat. Everyday Missourians — people who know how to take care of each other — should be calling the shots in our country, not corrupt politicians and ultra-wealthy elites who rarely send their kids to die in war. Together, we can end the war-hungry defense lobby hellbent on sending our troops back to the battlefield and make war profiteering a federal crime. We can stand up for every veteran and family who paid the ultimate sacrifice. And we can finally make investments and build up our communities back home. Thanks for hearing me out and for being on this team.
