[photos] An update from the trail

Just a few of my favorite moments over the last several weeks [Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate] {NAME} — my commitment to running a people-powered campaign is deeper than just refusing money from corporate PACs or mega-donors. It means putting in the work, showing up, and listening to real Missourians who’ve witnessed our communities be stripped for parts by corrupt politicians like Josh Hawley. So before I ask you to chip in to my grassroots campaign, please let me share a few of my favorite moments from traveling the state over these last few weeks. [CHIP IN NOW →]( We kicked things off with a town hall near where I grew up in mid-Missouri — and they told me it was the biggest crowd they’ve ever had for a Democrat in Moniteau County! These folks are fired up to defeat Josh Hawley, invest in workers, and finally rebuild communities across our state. [Lucas speaking to a crowd at a town hall in Moniteau County.]( A few days later in St. Louis County, hundreds of Missourians joined our rally to defeat Josh Hawley and flip this Senate seat. Working people are tired of being controlled, exploited, and left behind by the massive corporations and corrupt politicians calling the shots in Washington. They’re ready to take back their power, and this Senate seat. [Lucas standing with local elected and union leaders at his big rally in St. Louis County.]( St. Joe always shows up, and this time was no different. After our town hall, someone shared a story of struggle with me that’s too common in Missouri. They worked hard and did well in school, but at 28 still can’t get a good job near home. One of their parents had a union job that used to take care of their family until the assembly line got shut down. Working families in our state deserve a future. They deserve access to good jobs. And they deserve to have power over their own lives. That’s what I’m fighting for in this race — for their future, and the future of Missourians for generations to come. [Lucas speaking in front of a crowd at his town hall in St. Joseph.]( I walked the picket line with striking workers from UAW Local 2250 at the GM plant in Wentzville. Corporate elites have been robbing American auto workers for years, and I’m proud to stand in solidarity with these workers as they fight for a new contract with fair pay, benefits, and the job security they deserve. [Lucas on the picket line with striking workers at the GM plant in Wentzville from UAW Local 2250.]( Finally, I headed down to visit with folks at Truman Day in Lawrence County. From taking power back for Missouri workers, to ending Big Brother control over our lives and bodies — they’re fired up about all the things we can get done for our state and our country after we beat Josh Hawley. [Lucas addressing the crowd at Truman Day in Lawrence County.]( Everyday Missourians are driving this movement forward every step of the way — and I’m just so grateful to everyone who has taken the time to share their story with me over the past few weeks. But we still have a lot of work ahead of us, so I have to ask: [Will you add a donation of $10 or anything at all so we can defeat Josh Hawley and take this Senate seat back for everyday, working Missourians? This is our best shot to flip a GOP-held U.S. Senate seat in 2024, so your support right now could make all the difference for our campaign.]( 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]( Thank you so much, 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.
