INDEPENDENCE, Mo, – Today, Bill Clay Sr., a St. Louis Civil Rights icon and Missouri’s first Black member of Congress, endorsed 13-year Marine Veteran Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate, highlighting Lucas’ experience and being the only Democrat in the race willing to fight for our values. For Clay, Lucas is “the one we can trust.” “I served St. Louis for over 30 years as Missouri’s first Black Congressman, fighting for our people and universal health care, standing with workers, and always advocating for justice. I know what it takes to serve our community. I know Lucas Kunce will be the fighter we need in the U.S. Senate. We’ve never had a Senate candidate who knows our struggles so well and cares for everyday people like Lucas Kunce does,” said former Congressman Bill Clay Sr. “He didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth — he grew up in a family that was bankrupted by medical bills. They relied on the generosity of neighbors. Lucas got a scholarship to college and served his country for 13 years as a US Marine. Unlike other candidates in this race, the only ‘ball’ he’s ever been to is the Marine Corps Ball. He’s the one we can trust. I’ve got his back because I know he has all of ours. Vote for Lucas Kunce on August 2nd because we need real Democrats in the U.S. Senate who will fight for us and respond to the voters instead of big money special interests.” |
