re: our critical end-of-month fundraising deadline this week

Five reasons why your support right now makes such a big impact [Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate] Our next critical fundraising deadline is just days away, {NAME}. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to [add a donation of any amount toward our goal of raising 35,000 online donations before 11:59 PM on Wednesday, July 31st.]( But first, here are five reasons why your support right now makes such a big impact: [CHIP IN NOW →]( - Josh Hawley is vulnerable. Hawley won his last race with only 51% of the vote. And now, reporting from Morning Consult shows that he’s the least popular GOP Senator up for re-election in 2024 — with an approval rating even lower than Ted Cruz in Texas and Rick Scott in Florida! - National Republicans have made this race their top defensive target in 2024. These insiders know that if they don’t step in to tear down Lucas and make Josh Hawley look strong, there’s a real chance they could lose this Senate seat. So from launching desperate attacks to a new GOP Super PAC, they’re already hard at work to keep this seat under their thumb. - Missouri voters know how to take back their power at the ballot box. In 2018, they rejected anti-union “Right-to-Work” and voted to raise the minimum wage well above the federal level. In 2020, they expanded Medicaid. And in 2022, they legalized weed. So in 2024, they’re ready to defeat Josh Hawley. - This November, our race will share a ballot with an initiative to end Missouri’s extreme abortion ban. Red and purple states like Kansas, Kentucky, and Ohio have overwhelmingly passed similar initiatives — and elected pro-freedom candidates like Lucas — when reproductive rights are under attack. So having the resources to get the truth about Hawley’s extreme record on reproductive freedom in front of voters will absolutely make a big difference in this election. - Lucas Kunce has proved he can harness record-breaking grassroots energy. First, he outraised Hawley over all of 2023 and both fundraising quarters of 2024. Then, he earned the support of the Missouri AFL-CIO, local and statewide leaders, major national organizations like VoteVets, and tens of thousands of everyday people like you. But now, we’ve got to keep this momentum going. We need to continue proving that we’re building the movement that’s going to defeat Josh Hawley and take back power for everyday people this November. So we urgently have to ask:  [Will you please add a donation of absolutely any amount toward our end-of-month fundraising goal before midnight tonight? Lucas isn’t taking a cent from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, or shady mega-donors in this race — this movement is built by working people, for working people.]( If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly: [Contribute $10]( [Contribute $25]( [Contribute $30]( [Contribute $50]( [Contribute $100]( [Contribute $250]( [Give another amount]( Thanks for everything, Team Lucas Kunce [Donate]( [Like on Facebook]( [Follow on Twitter]( [Follow on Instagram]( Paid for by Lucas Kunce for Missouri This email was sent to [{EMAIL}](#). Email is the most important way we keep in touch with people like you.
