Awesome 150+ crowd at our town hall last night in St. Charles!

From taking power back for Missouri workers to ending Big Brother control over our lives and bodies — everyday Missourians are fired up about what we'll get done in the Senate after we defeat Josh Hawley in November. pic.twitter.com/vmvhp3SYdM

Thanks to everyone who made it to our town hall at American Legion Post 318!

People in Platte County are tired of seeing our state gutted by big corporations and left behind by politicians who don't give a damn about them — that's why they're fired up about beating Josh Hawley. pic.twitter.com/S7RGt74mRe

"We look for two things in a Senator: An effective leader who actually fights for us on our issues, and someone we'd trust to dive into a basement fire with us if they were in our unit. Josh Hawley is neither."

Mid-Missouri is fired up about taking this U.S. Senate seat back for real Missourians! They’re tired of having a U.S. Senator who has spent six years voting against investment in Missouri. It’s time to rebuild our state.

Missourians have a chance to put reproductive freedom and abortion access on the ballot! If you can knock doors like we just did in KC, or if you’ve not had a chance to sign the petition, go to https://t.co/0nIL7wJXvc to find out where you can take action today. #EndTheBanMO pic.twitter.com/3Q3sQWXTmn

Awesome time and great turnout at our town hall in South KC — with abortion heading to the ballot, Missourians are even more fired up about this election!

This November, we're ending the abortion ban and taking this U.S. Senate seat back for real Missourians. pic.twitter.com/yPbUja1ze6

Grateful I had the chance to talk with @AFGENational members at their convention in MO—and I'm proud to have their support! In the Senate, I’ll fight back against any scheme to gut and privatize the essential work they do for our veterans, our seniors, and our national security. pic.twitter.com/CCc6fCpsML

Great time at the Midwest States Conference of @MachinistsUnion! I’m proud to have their support. Workers like them are our greatest asset. They keep our country strong and secure. In the U.S. Senate, I’ll fight like hell to pass the PRO Act and always put American workers first. pic.twitter.com/3zyK0GVjD2

From Bridgeton to St. Joe to Cape Girardeau to Freeburg (population 400!) — working people are fired up about taking this U.S. Senate seat back for real Missourians.

Fight like hell. That's how we'll win this race. pic.twitter.com/g2aHsIuonT

Last night, hundreds of everyday Missourians joined our rally in Bridgeton to defeat Josh Hawley and to take this U.S. Senate seat back for working families.

I'm grateful to every single one of you who is standing with us in this race. #MOSen pic.twitter.com/DQE572VmPq

Awesome time in Hannibal last night!

People here are tired of getting left behind and betrayed by corporate politicians. And they sure as hell don't think cowards and frauds should be calling the shots in the U.S. Senate. We're taking this seat back for everyday Missourians. pic.twitter.com/UIXiBixs2A

Express Scripts pushed 15,000 independent pharmacies out of the military pharmacy network. My family was affected. These small businesses that took care of their communities were too.

Proud to stand against PBM abuses. We should enforce our antitrust laws and break them up. pic.twitter.com/KQhkbtSEhc

— Lucas Kunce (@LucasKunceMO) May 18, 2024

Everyday people are fired up and ready to take back this seat. They deserve a U.S. Senator who fights for them — not a fraud like @HawleyMO who doesn't know a thing about life here in Missouri.

We're building a grassroots movement to replace Josh in 2024. And we're going to win. pic.twitter.com/givwXWpTUC

Awesome time with @IBEW at their District 11 conference! I'm so proud to have their support in this race.

Union workers can build the next generation of industry right here in Missouri. In the Senate, I’ll fight for them every day like our future depends on it — because it does. pic.twitter.com/fdd3GODYtY

Thanks to @Steelworkers Local 169 for hosting our townhall in Ste. Genevieve last night!

I got asked about plans like @SenRickScott's to "sunset" Social Security. While @HawleyMO would put Scott in charge of the Senate, I'll fight like hell to protect every dollar you've earned. pic.twitter.com/gSWhXDcERW

Freeburg MO has a population of 400. So getting 100+ people out for a Truman Day event with E-Day 18 months away? Yeah, they’re fired up.

Everyday people in Missouri's forgotten towns and neighborhoods are fed up with being left behind. They're taking their power back in 2024. pic.twitter.com/KvfBIV3kqT

Grateful for the chance to talk with Missouri's @MachinistsUnion about their needs from our state’s leaders. And I'm proud to have their support in this race.

Union workers like them are America’s greatest asset. They deserve a Senator they can always count on to fight for them. pic.twitter.com/F1g4bzoGjP

Missouri's fire fighters and first responders deserve a US Senator they can trust to be their warrior in Washington—not an unserious, self-obsessed, partisan hack like Josh Hawley. And I’m ready to serve.

Thank you to @IAFFdist2 @MSCFF_MO for having my back in this race. #MOSen pic.twitter.com/dcKjwtWwRq

A great crowd at our town hall at the Laborers Hall in Southeast MO! Some brought up Big Ag gutting our state. Our politicians have let multinational corporations buy up our land, ship away jobs, and shut down family farms.

I'm running for U.S. Senate to take our farmland back. pic.twitter.com/qGIB6Dx9JZ

Was at the picket line last night with @UAW 2250 workers at the Wentzville GM plant.

Solidarity — that's how everyday people can take back power from the corporate elites who've been robbing workers for years. It's time for working people to call the shots. pic.twitter.com/8yEnknTUuV

We had a packed house at our town hall in St. Joe last night!

Someone there shared with me a story of struggle that’s common in Missouri. She worked hard and did well in school, but she still hasn’t been able to get a good job near home. Now she’s 28. One of her parents had a… pic.twitter.com/1vLhWVv2ka

We had a full house in St. Joe this weekend!

At our town hall last night, they told me this is the biggest crowd they've ever had for a Democrat in Moniteau County!

Talon wants to pull out of the IUOE 101 pension + pocket $5/hr from wage increases. With workers on strike, Talon is now using non-union operators.

The PRO Act bans employers from permanently replacing strikers. Workers deserve a U.S. Senator who will fight like hell to pass it. pic.twitter.com/PBnQGhf4Ii

Last night, about a hundred Missourians braved the cold so we could gear up for #SuperBowlLVII at @GatesBBQ + teach Josh Hawley a lesson about BBQ that's actually made in Missouri — not Kansas. #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/5aPNDv27NJ

We had an awesome time at the Waynesville-St. Robert Veterans Day parade in Pulaski County this weekend! Thanks to everyone who joined us. Let's push our leaders to honor our veterans by investing in the communities they signed up to serve! pic.twitter.com/XCp35vZF0s

I grew up in a working-class neighborhood in Jeff City. When medical bills bankrupted my family, our neighbors pitched in to help us get by. They’re why I'm running for Senate.

After I filed as a candidate, I was honored to have a packed crowd from my hometown standing with me. pic.twitter.com/CSpStTcDHq

Had a great crowd at the Springfield Earth Day Festival!

People are fed up with politicians who back forever wars and handouts for Big Oil. We need to invest in putting America first in job creation + production for nextgen energy. We'll rebuild Missouri and secure our future. pic.twitter.com/6TgecNJN0N

Awesome time talking with @STLlocal562 about their priorities in this race. Missouri workers deserve a Senator who gets things done for them and brings investment back to our state — not a partisan hack who just embarrasses us like @HawleyMO.

I'm proud to have their support. pic.twitter.com/XRde7HrKxP

Average real hourly earnings for autoworkers have fallen 19.3% since 2008, but CEOs at the Big 3 auto companies can afford to raise their own pay by 40%? That's bullshit.

I'll stand with @UAW and every worker fighting for what they've earned — as long as it takes. pic.twitter.com/AAgdroyvqV

Awesome to talk with hundreds of IBEW Local 1 workers. No one knows better how critical it is that we Make Shit In America Again and put America first in next-generation industries.

Workers, public servants, vets, normal freedom-loving Americans who’d never write a weird book about “Manhood” —photos like these terrify control-freak politicians like Josh Hawley.
