This email is long, but I hope you’ll take time to read it. PLEASE SUPPORT MISSOURI!

 

I’m running for U.S. Senate because I want everyday Missourians to call the shots in our country — not giant corporations or the cowards like Josh Hawley they’ve bought off in Washington. This email is long, but I hope you’ll take some time to read it:

When I came home between deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, it was clear to me that Missouri is on the frontlines of the fight for power in our country.

While communities like mine all across our state were stripped for parts, corrupt politicians like Josh Hawley attacked workers with anti-union schemes like “Right-to-Work” and fought to block wage increases for Missouri families — all to enrich multinational corporations and mega-donors who bankroll their campaigns and their careers.

They helped Wall Street financiers sell off our farmland to billionaires in China and Brazil — devastating rural communities and contributing to the closure of 90% of Missouri hog producers in a single generation.

One of Missouri’s oldest and largest employers, Anheuser-Busch, was sold to a Belgian conglomerate — costing Missouri more than a thousand jobs.

Missouri-based Monsanto, one of the world’s most important agrochemical and biotechnology companies, was sold to Germany — eliminating even more jobs.

And as dozens more headquarters have been taken out of state, politicians in power like Josh Hawley were happy to sit back and watch it happen.

Manufacturing, agriculture, production — they’re shipping it all away to foreign oligarchs who don’t care about working people in our state. And while our communities were getting gutted, these same politicians voted time and time again to spend trillions of dollars and thousands of lives on overseas wars that got their Big Oil friends rich.

These politicians have spent decades sparking phony culture wars to distract and divide our families. They’ve become so obsessed with controlling our lives, they made Missouri the first state in the nation to ban abortion — without exceptions for victims of rape or incest.

Our state deserves a Senator who will stand up and fight for it — and I’m ready to serve. So if you’re ready to elect a real warrior for working people to Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat, will you please rush a donation of any amount toward my grassroots campaign today?

We aren’t fighting the corporate status quo just to make a point, either. This is a race we really can win.

Our values have won at the ballot box in Missouri for referendums that go beyond what’s happening nowadays in Washington, or even what political elites in Jefferson City are willing to allow.

For the last three election cycles, Missouri voters have side-stepped our politicians by voting to increase the minimum wage well above the federal level, expand health care, repeal an anti-worker “Right-to-Work” scheme, legalize weed, and enact more protections against political corruption with wide margins.

So now, we’re building a record-breaking, people-powered movement to defeat Josh Hawley and take this Senate seat back for working Missourians.

Together, we’re going to stop printing money for Wall Street and start funding our schools enough to get Missouri out of last place for starting teacher pay.

We’re going to abolish corporate PACs and demand a government that safeguards our democracy and holds corrupt politicians accountable.

We’re going to take back Missouri farmland for Missouri farmers and start manufacturing essential drugs right here in America.

We’re going to build an economy that puts American workers and small businesses in charge, not giant corporations and foreign oligarchs — an economy that invests in putting America first in the next generation of energy, semiconductors, and supply chain independence.

We’re going to put an end to pointless, trillion-dollar wars and invest in a Marshall Plan for the Midwest — a historic investment in our workers and communities to rebuild our forgotten towns and cities, and to finally start making stuff in America again.

And we’re going to finally put everyday Missourians in charge of their own neighborhoods, workplaces, and bodies.

It’s time to take our power back — and we can’t do it without your support. So please, will you rush a donation of absolutely any amount to my campaign today? I’m not taking a cent from corporate PACs in this race so you’ll always know I’m fighting for everyday, working people in the U.S. Senate.

Now let’s get moving,
