Issues
Abortion: Kunce supports the restoration of reproductive rights in Missouri and across the country. He supports the passage of Amendment 3 to enshrine a right to abortion in the Missouri Constitution and has been endorsed by abortion advocates.
Economy: Kunce has pledged to fight for working-class Missourians if elected. He has also been endorsed by labor groups. Among his proposals is to stop closures of defense plants by foreign firms.
Immigration: While avoiding the "deport them all" rhetoric used by Republicans, Kunce has tried to strike a balance by saying he'll be tough on the border.
"I'm Lucas Kunce, and I'll secure that border no matter who the president is," Kunce says in one of his TV ads. Kunce says in the ad that he'll fully fund and equip the Border Patrol and fight the flow of fentanyl coming across the border.
