Meet the Democrat Who Thinks He Can Take Down Josh Hawley
Missouri is, decidedly, a red state.
It’s been years since the Show-Me state elected a Democrat statewide. And when Sen. Josh Hawley (R) is up for re-election in 2024, likely boosted by the headwinds of a presidential cycle, most would figure he’ll be in fine shape.
But Lucas Kunce—a Democrat, marine veteran, and attorney—has a different perspective. And he’s trying to get others to join in.
Like a number of Democrats before him, Kunce is running as an underdog candidate, trying to flip a red-state seat blue. He thinks a grassroots, populist approach can revitalize the Democratic Party in Missouri, betting his working-class background will connect with voters who’ve felt disenchanted by politicians.

Lucas Kunce thinks Josh Hawley is uniquely vulnerable in the increasingly red state of Missouri. But he’ll have to convince more than himself to actually get the job done.
