Independence, MO – Today, Insulators Local 63 (in Southwest Missouri) and United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers Local 2 (in Eastern Missouri) have endorsed Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate.
“Josh Hawley doesn’t know the first thing about what working people face in Missouri,” said Mike Jenkins, Business Manager, Insulators Local 63. “Hawley’s idea of being ‘pro-worker’ is defending corrupt mortgage lenders from New Jersey, supporting ‘Right-to-Work’ scams designed to destroy the union way of life, and backing corporate judges who want to rip healthcare away from our families. We need a U.S. Senator who understands the true meaning of service and sacrifice — that’s why we’re proud to endorse a warrior like Lucas Kunce over a fraud like Josh Hawley. In the Senate, Lucas will fight to secure working people’s right to organize, to invest in our communities, and to put American workers first in the next generation of energy.”
“We need a warrior for working people in the U.S. Senate who will always stand and fight for us — not a phony like Hawley who talks tough, then cuts and runs,” said Denny Marshall Jr., President/Business Manager, Roofers Local 2. “That’s why we’re proud to join Lucas Kunce’s growing coalition of everyday Missourians. This is our chance to take power back for working people in our state, and we cannot waste it.”
Despite pathetic attacks from Hawley and his allies about playing Magic the Gathering while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, Kunce continues to gain support from organized labor across the state.
