Listen, I know you're busy, so I'll get right to it.

2024 has barely even begun, and MAGA Republican Rick Scott has already spent $3 MILLION this cycle on attack ads against Democrats like me. That's more than any other GOP Senate candidate so far. 

He wants you to think this means that his campaign is strong. But the truth is, Rick Scott is terrified. 

Honestly, I don't blame him: Polling shows our team in the lead, and experts at CNN ranked Florida as one of the most likely Senate seats to flip blue. 

Rick Scott knows that the only way that he can win is by buying this seat. But as a mega-millionaire, he's more than ready to do just that — he shelled out $64 MILLION last time around. We can't let him get away with it again. So, friend, if you have anything extra to spare today, will you chip in to help me win in Florida and defend Democrats' Senate majority?

Listen, friend, we cannot let these attacks go unanswered. Rick Scott is trying to paint Democrats like me as out-of-touch politicians who've "rigged the game against hard-working Americans.” Seriously?

I'm here to tell you myself — that is a bold-faced lie. Rick Scott made his fortune as the CEO of a hospital chain convicted of the biggest Medicare fraud scheme in history at that time. He made off with millions and faced no consequences. Now, he's pushing a far-right agenda that would ban abortions, raise taxes on working families, and end Social Security and Medicare. Talk about rigging the game against hard-working Americans.

My story is different. As a teen immigrant from Ecuador, I fought hard to create my own American dream. In high school, I worked early morning shifts before homeroom to help my family afford rent for our one room apartment. 

I studied hard to earn a scholarship that made college possible for me and dedicated my career to public service. Eventually, I ran for Congress, defeated a Republican incumbent, and became the first South American immigrant elected to the House. In Congress, I fought tirelessly to expand Medicare access, lower the cost of living, end gun violence, and protect families like yours.

I've spent my life giving back to the communities that gave me so much and fighting to protect the opportunities that made my story possible. Rick Scott has spent his career getting rich and leaving working families behind. Floridians deserve better. That's why I'm running to defeat Rick Scott and actually fight for the families that he claims to care so much about.

We have a huge opportunity to flip Florida blue this time around, but only if we have the resources to fight back against our opponent's massive wealth and set the record straight. I'm counting on your help to do it: Please, will you chip in $5 to help us retire Rick Scott and flip Florida blue? With your help, this race is truly ours to win.

With immense gratitude,
