“There’s only one person in this race who will actually fight to overturn the disastrous Citizens United decision and put Washington back on the side of working Missourians and that’s Lucas Kunce,” said Tiffany Muller, President of ECU // LAV. “Josh Hawley is nothing but a fraud who talks a big game on taking on money in politics in Missouri but always sides with corporations and the corrupt special interests back in Washington.

Multiple public polls — including one from Morning Consult released last month — show Hawley has the lowest approval of any Republican senator running for reelection in 2024, lower than Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida. And even his mentor, Missouri’s former U.S. Sen. John Danforth, has called backing Hawley the “worst mistake I ever made.” Now up for reelection in 2024, Hawley faces Kunce, a Marine veteran and leading antitrust advocate who’s broken fundraising records, rallied Missouri’s election-winning labor movement behind him and built a reputation as a different kind of Democrat who speaks truth to power, regardless of party.

“There’s a stark difference between staging a photo op with unions when our approval numbers are high, on the one hand, and taking real votes in the Senate to fight for us on the other… We do our job. Josh Hawley isn’t doing his… We know [Hawley]’s only changed his tune because of polling and the fact that he’s up for re-election next year… I know a fraud when I see one.”

Independence, MO – The League of Conservation Voters Action Fund has endorsed Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate. A major national group, LCV Action Fund is focused on electing candidates who are committed to protecting their …

UFCW #655 President David Cook said his union’s support of Kunce was not merely a case of sharing political dogma. “We’re behind Lucas Kunce because, as this poll shows, he can make this race competitive, and he can win.” Hawley’s campaign could not be reached Wednesday for comment.

“Candidates may pick up soft endorsements, which amount to political names to slap on flyers. But they also may get hard endorsements, where those names show up in the flesh and help rally support. Any questions along those lines about the campaign of Lucas Kunce, a Democrat taking a second shot at the U.S. Senate, were answered Monday night.”
