What I’ve learned about politicians and moneyIt’s not easy to run a campaign the right way. But for me, that’s the only option
I want to tell you about something other candidates won’t admit: How we choose to fund our campaign influences more than just how we pay for staff, ads, and organizing. It has a direct impact on both our message and who we actually serve in office. Any politician or pundit who tells you otherwise is lying — and I have the receipts to prove it. Despite virtually every member of Congress having campaigned on making life-saving drugs more accessible, politicians who take millions of dollars from Big Pharma are still telling us we have to accept a world where people die because they have to ration their medicine. Then we have out-of-touch elites like Josh Hawley, who have spent decades wasting our money on tax breaks and subsidies for Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and just about everything else that’s gutting our country — all while refusing to invest even a penny back into the state they were elected to represent. They’re willing to lie, cheat, and steal from the American people to protect the corporate PACs and mega-donors who own them — and they’ll even raise their fist to look strong before they start running from threats to our democracy. We don’t need any more liars or frauds like Josh Hawley in Congress. That’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate. It’s why I’m not taking a single cent from corporate PACs. And it’s why I’ve relied on real people like you to build this movement since Day One — not federal lobbyists, national insiders, or Big Oil or Big Pharma execs. That commitment to running this campaign the right way has given us the ability to run the boldest campaign in Missouri history — taking on corrupt political elites like Hawley without hesitation about some mega-donor being upset. And our mission of taking power back for everyday people has earned our movement national media attention. More than just banning insider trading among members of Congress and their families — I’m running to put them in jail if they steal from us. More than just breaking up Big Pharma — I’m running to prosecute the insulin cartels who are killing people. More than just fighting to codify protections for abortion access — I’m running to end the filibuster so we can actually get it done. And more than just rejecting corporate PAC money — I’m running to abolish corporate PACs altogether. This campaign is powered by the people because that’s exactly who I’ll work for in the U.S. Senate — I'll be accountable to real, everyday Americans, not some corporate executive or political machine. We’re throwing out their rulebook and building a grassroots movement to fundamentally change who has power in our country. And I want you to be part of it. So if you’re ready to help us defeat Josh Hawley and give Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat back to everyday people, please add a donation of whatever you can before our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline on June 30th.
