I want to tell you about the Missouri I grew up in — and w hy Josh Hawley could never understand

Please let me explain. [Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate] {NAME} — Josh Hawley could never understand the Missouri I grew up in. Please let me explain: [On the left, Lucas Kunce in his hometown of Jefferson City. On the right, Josh Hawley pictured in his prep school photo.]( On the right is Joshua Hawley. While his banker daddy was sending him to a fancy prep school miles from his hometown, my family and I were relying on our neighbors to survive bankruptcy and medical bills in mid-Missouri — in a community where people took care of each other. That’s us on the left. When Hawley graduated from law school, he joined one of the world’s most elite corporate law firms. I joined the Marine Corps to pay back the community in Missouri that took care of me and my family. And when he was climbing the ladder to become another corrupt politician, I was serving my country — and then working to prevent the pointless overseas wars that make us less safe. [On the left, Lucas Kunce in combat. On the right, a headline saying Josh Hawley violated transparency laws.]( While Josh Hawley aligned himself with the same giant corporations who’ve spent decades attacking Missouri workers and shipping away our jobs, I’ve been fighting to take back power for American workers and small businesses. [On the left, the Huffington Post calls Lucas Kunce a crusader against corporate consilidation. On the right, the Labor Tribune says Hawley wants to implement Right to Work in Missouri.]( And when Hawley voted against relief for veterans like me who were exposed to toxic burn pits, I stood up alongside thousands of veterans to hold him accountable. [On the left, a headline from Fox news reads that Lucas Kunce was exposed to toxic burn pits. On the right, a headline from Yahoo News reads that Josh Hawley voted agaisnt protecting veterens exposed to toxic burn pits.]( The Missouri I grew up in taught us to take care of one another. To do your duty. To serve and sacrifice for your fellow Missourians. Josh Hawley doesn’t know that Missouri — and on January 6th, 2021, he showed us the only thing he’s learned is how to be a fraud and a coward. [Josh Hawley running away on January 6th, then raising his fist.]( Josh Hawley hasn't just abandoned our state and our values. He's embarrassed himself and all of Missouri. And embarrassing Missouri... That’s something I can't let go. Missourians deserve a U.S. Senator who will stand up and fight for them — and unlike Josh, I'm ready to serve. If you’re ready to help us make sure every Missouri voter knows it before they vote on Election Day, I need your help: [Will you chip in any amount you can afford to our campaign right now so we can get our message in front of voters? The only way we’ll be able to flip this Senate seat is if we build a powerful grassroots movement, and support from real people like you is the best way we can do it.]( 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]( If we keep working together, we can take back power for working Missourians and everyday people all across the country.
