Friend, 

This is Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, and I’m the Democrat running to defeat Rick Scott, serve Floridians as our next U.S. Senator, and defend our Democratic majority.

I’m reaching out to update you on the fight for abortion rights here in Florida — because, perhaps more than anywhere else in the country, the stakes here for reproductive freedom couldn’t be higher.

As I write to you, Ron DeSantis’ six-week abortion ban is going into effect. This ban will create life or death situations for millions of Floridians. Because politicians like DeSantis and my opponent, Rick Scott, are so intent on stripping Floridians of their freedoms, families right now could be subject to untold pain.

But there is hope, friend. The Florida Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a ballot initiative to let the people — and not extremist politicians like DeSantis and Scott — decide the future of reproductive rights in Florida this November. If this ballot initiative succeeds, abortion rights will be enshrined into our state constitution, making DeSantis’ abortion ban null and void.

Here’s the truth, friend. Despite what the political pundits would have you believe, Florida is NOT a red state. We’re ready for new leadership, and I’m determined to help win it. I’ll fight with everything I have to ensure this ballot initiative is successful and that we defeat Rick Scott to ensure Floridians have a true voice in the U.S. Senate — not someone who co-sponsored a nationwide ban on abortions. It would be an honor to have you on this team and count on your support.

Thank you,

Debbie
