Friend, this is the one thing that I need you to know about my race: Florida is NOT a red state. It's a gerrymandered and voter-suppressed state.

I've raised my family here. I've built my career here. I've served this state through work with nonprofits and in Congress. I've worked hard over the years to get to know every community that calls our state home. And over these past few months, I've spent just about every spare minute meeting even more voters as I travel up and down our beautiful state.

The majority of Florida voters don't support Rick Scott's far-right agenda. They believe in protecting reproductive rights. They don't want to see their taxes go up while the top 1% gets a tax cut. They want to keep their Medicare and Social Security benefits. They don't want leaders who sow division and lie to them.

But the Florida GOP has spent years gerrymandering our state to ensure that they hold on to power in Washington and Tallahassee and totally ignore what the majority of Floridians actually believe in. That reality helps to drive down turnout and leave voters disillusioned with politics. And then, the extremists who've gerrymandered their way into office pass more and more voter suppression bills that make it harder for voters to cast their ballots every election year.

Florida is NOT a red state. But I need your help to prove it. Will you make a donation now to help me build a winning grassroots campaign? Together, we can inspire voters to fight for change, break down the voter suppression barriers keeping people from the ballot box, and flip this seat blue.

Thank you for believing in this campaign and in a better future for Florida.

With gratitude,

Debbie
