With an average donation of $35, Marine veteran Lucas Kunce’s 3-month haul is made up of 63% first-time donors with donations from every one of Missouri’s 114 counties and the City of St. Louis.
Independence, MO — Lt. Col. Lucas Kunce (USMCR) has raised $8.3 million between July 1st and September 30th, with nearly 130,000 people donating and 63% of donations coming from first-time donors. Kunce’s fundraising in the last three months is historic — the most ever raised by a Missouri Senate challenger and the largest ever quarterly haul for direct contributions for any federal candidate in state history.
It’s the latest sign of momentum for his challenge against unpopular incumbent Josh Hawley after new polling shows this race has become a dead heat, and Planned Parenthood Action Fund endorsed Kunce as a fired up Missouri electorate gets a chance to repeal Josh Hawley’s total abortion ban this November.
“With donations from every county in the state, and without a cent from corporate PACs or DC lobbyists, Lucas Kunce has built a historic movement in Missouri,” said Caleb Cavarretta, campaign manager. “Hawley has not run a single positive TV ad touting his own record in the U.S. Senate for a reason — after bringing $0 in Congressionally directed spending back to Missouri, he has nothing to run on. He’s terrified of Lucas’ powerful message and terrified that Lucas can win this race. And he should be.”
