John, in just a few hours, the GOP presidential candidates will take the stage right here in Miami. With the national eye on our state, this is a huge opportunity for my opponent Rick Scott to gain momentum. But it's also a huge opportunity for us — all eyes will be on Florida and on our race.

That's why I've set a goal to raise $100,000 before the GOP candidates take the stage — and I'm counting on you to split a donation between my campaign and 1973 Action Fund to help us hit it:

But first, let me explain exactly who we're up against here:

• Rick Scott wrote the plan to END Social Security and Medicare — a plan so extreme even Mitch McConnell condemned it!
• He supports Florida's extreme abortion ban — and he's scheming to pass a nationwide ban on abortions.
• He's a fraud who made his fortune as the CEO of a company that admitted to the largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history.
• And he just became one of the first senators to ENDORSE Donald Trump — apparently, not even Florida’s own Ron DeSantis is extreme enough for him.

Rick Scott is wrong for Florida, plain and simple. That's why I'm running to defeat him. And the good news is that experts at CNN, Roll Call, and FiveThirtyEight agree that our campaign has a real shot at beating him.

But that can only happen if we have the resources to compete with his massive fortune on the airwaves and on the ground. And that means stepping up during big moments like this one. So I'm personally asking: Will you chip in $25 — split between my campaign and 1973 Action Fund — to help us hit this critical goal and flip Florida blue?

Thank you so much,
