Friend, it's Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. In case you haven't heard, I'm the Democrat running to defeat Rick Scott in Florida. I'm also an immigrant from Ecuador, a gun safety advocate, a former Congresswoman, and a proud mom.

I'm about to ask you to make a donation to support my campaign. (If you're ready to give now, you can click here to split a gift between my campaign and Southern Progress.) But first, let me explain why I'm asking and what's at stake:

Rick Scott is one of the most dangerous senators in Washington. He wrote the plan to raise taxes on working families and end Medicare and Social Security. And he’s supported a nationwide ban on abortions.
Rick Scott only won this seat by 0.12% last time around — and he had to shell out $64 MILLION of his own money to do it. Now, a new poll shows our race is already statistically tied.
Election experts are saying that if I win, Democrats will be virtually guaranteed to maintain our Senate majority. If not, we could easily lose control.

I know that we can win in Florida, but I'm counting on your help to compete with Scott's massive personal fortune. So please, will you split $25 between my campaign and Southern Progress before midnight tonight to defeat Scott's dangerous agenda, defend our Senate majority, and flip Florida blue?

Thank you for believing in my campaign and in a better future for Florida,

Debbie
