The U.S. Senate campaign of Lucas Kunce is having a good week — and it’s only Monday.
Hours after ºüÀêÊÓƵ County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell dropped out of the U.S. Senate race and entered the Democratic primary race against U.S. Rep. Cori Bush, two County Council members stepped forward to endorse Kunce:
Councilwomen Kelli Dunaway, D-2nd District, and Lisa D. Clancy, D-5th District, threw their support Monday to Kunce — which means Kunce now has endorsements from all four Democratic, and all four female, members of the council.
First to join Kunce’s camp were Council Chair Shalonda Webb, D-4th District, and Councilwoman Rita Heard Days, D-1st District.
ºüÀêÊÓƵ County Executive Sam Page, also a Democrat, is still holding onto his endorsement in the Senate primary race, which now consists of Kunce, state Sen. Karla May, D-ºüÀêÊÓƵ, and Columbia activist December Harmon.

Kunce, who lost to Trudy Busch Valentine in the 2022 U.S. Senate primary, already has garnered a large amount of endorsements.
Most notable among those backers are numerous labor unions, including the Missouri AFL-CIO and building trades councils of ºüÀêÊÓƵ and Kansas City.
