Good morning, friend —
|
 |
While enjoying my Sunday breakfast of doughnuts and coffee, I realized that tonight is the deadline for our weekly $200,000 goal — and as of 11:00 a.m., we're still 17% short of hitting it.
|
So I'm reaching out to ask for your help in closing that gap: If that's all you need to hear, you can click this link to help me make my goal on time and stay on track to retire Rick Scott.
|
But before that, I want to share a story about doughnuts — and how they can help save our slim Senate majority.
|
My family arrived in America with big dreams for the future. But those early days were hard. I remember my mom working back-to-back double shifts and still struggling to afford rent for our small, one room apartment — and her constant reassurance, work ethic, and firm belief in the American dream inspired me to fight for a better life.
|
So once I turned 15, I got a job working the early morning shift at a local doughnut shop. Those small checks I brought home gave my family room to breathe and made it so that, every Sunday, my mom and I could set aside time in the afternoon to play dominoes (another treasured Sunday tradition).
|
And after a lot of hard work, the life we only dreamed of before became reality. We moved out of that one room apartment. I got a scholarship to an incredible college. I eventually found a career path where I could give back to the communities and country that gave me so much — and I became the first South American immigrant to serve in Congress.
|
In short, making doughnuts in the morning before homeroom brought me all the way to Congress. With your help, it'll be the start of my story as Florida's next senator, too.
|
My life has taught me that even the smallest acts, like kneading dough for minimum wage, have the power to create huge, transformative changes. And with your small donation of just $10 dollars — about the price of a dozen doughnuts — or anything you can spare, you can have a big impact on my chances of competing with my ultrawealthy opponent and winning.
|
So, friend, will you chip in $10 or anything you can before my midnight deadline to help me retire Rick Scott? This campaign is powered by small-dollar donations, so your support makes all the difference.
|
If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thank you,
Debbie
