Hi, friend, it's Debbie. I just got out of an emergency meeting with my campaign team, and I wanted to get a note out to you about where things stand right now. It’s important.

Unfortunately, we’re pacing about $16,453 short of where we should be before my end-of-month deadline in less than 15 hours. Will you donate $5 to help get us back on track so we can defeat Rick Scott?

We cannot afford to fall behind so early on in the election cycle. My opponent, Rick Scott, is one of the richest senators in the country, so he's more than capable of self-funding his campaign. In fact, he’s already poured millions into his current campaign, and last time around, he spent $64 MILLION of his own fortune to buy this seat.

Look, friend, I’ve already fought opponents like Rick Scott and beat them. I’m not afraid to face him or anybody who doesn’t put Florida first — especially as he continues to get rich while taking away our rights, abusing our government, and raising costs for families. No más. We’re going to do something about it. We’re going to win.

But winning will take staying ahead of our grassroots goals, especially when Rick Scott can cut himself a massive check at any moment. That’s why I’m asking, friend: Please, help me make up this gap by donating $5, or whatever you can, to fight back against Rick Scott, win in Florida, and expand our Senate majority.

Thank you so much for your support,

Debbie
