Independence, MO – Today, the International Association of Heat & Frost Insulators & Allied Workers Local 1 has endorsed Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate. This marks the first union endorsement of the cycle.
“Working families in Missouri deserve a U.S. Senator who understands their struggles, knows what it means to serve, and is committed to investing in their future — that’s why we’re endorsing Lucas Kunce,” said Gary Payeur, Business Manager, International Association of Heat & Frost Insulators & Allied Workers Local No. 1. “Growing up, his family counted on the help of their working-class neighbors to get by when they were bankrupted by medical bills. He served 13 years of active duty in the Marine Corps, then used his experience to be an advocate against corporate corruption. And in Washington, he’ll fight for the right to organize, workplace safety, and the historic investments in infrastructure and next-generation energy we need to rebuild Missouri. We’re proud to back Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate because he’s the warrior for working people that Missouri desperately needs.”
“I’m honored to have the support of Insulators Local 1,” said Kunce. “This is what it means to build a coalition of working class voters across this state. I’m committed to fighting like hell for workers in the U.S. Senate.”
