Hi there, friend — it’s Robert, Debbie’s husband.

I want to wish a very Happy Father’s Day to all of the fellow dads and father figures in Florida and around the country. Today, I’m spending the day with Debbie and our three beautiful children, Willow, Jude, and Siena. But before jumping back into the festivities, I want to take a quick moment to touch base with you all. 

I wouldn’t be who I am today without Debbie. She’s an incredible wife, mother to our kids, and public servant — and guess what? She’s also a fierce fighter when it comes to Florida and protecting hardworking families. 

That’s how I know she’s the leader our great state deserves. She truly is the kindest and most generous person I’ve ever met — and I've been her biggest supporter from the very beginning. As a father, I worry greatly about my children's futures, and I know that with extremist Republicans like Rick Scott in charge, they won’t have the same opportunities my wife and I had growing up. 

So, one of the greatest gifts for me this Father’s Day is getting Debbie the 50,000 official grassroots endorsements she needs to become Florida’s next U.S. senator. Friend: Will you please give my family the best Father’s Day gift and add your name to endorse Debbie's campaign before midnight tonight?

Thank you so much, friend. And I hope that you have a wonderful Father's Day spent with those you love.
