Kansas City, MO – Today, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 124 has endorsed Lucas Kunce for Senate. IBEW 124 represents electrical workers in 15 counties in western Missouri, including Bates, Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clay, Cooper, Henry, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Morgan, Pettis, Platte, Ray, and Saline counties.
“IBEW Local 124 is proud to endorse Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate,” said Bo Moreno, Business Manager of IBEW 124. “Having met with Mr. Kunce on several occasions, it was an easy choice for this membership. With an esteemed resume as a Marine veteran who was born and raised in Missouri, he is all too familiar with the struggles of the working class. There is a relatability with the day-to-day needs of the community. Workers across this state deserve a Senator who not only cares about their issues, but is committed to engaging with them as well as fighting alongside them. Bottom line, there is a true sense of sincerity and a genuine character that is sorely missing from today’s political environment in Washington. Lucas Kunce is a breath of fresh air and provides a much-needed source of inspiration to the blue-collar union men and women of Missouri.”
