John — when I saw this news, I was sick to my stomach:
[Tweet from Rick Scott @SenRickScott 'I am running to be the next Senate Republican leader. Excited to discuss this and more on the @IngrahamAngle tonight at 7:40 p.m. E.T. TUNE IN!']
This means my race to unseat Rick Scott could decide BOTH the Senate majority and the majority leader.
If you think the current GOP Senate minority leader is bad, you really don't want this guy, whose agenda was too extreme for Mitch McConnell, to take his place. He already laid out his plan for the country:
- Pass a national abortion ban
- End Medicare and Social Security
- Raise taxes on the middle class
Now more than ever, it's vital that we kick him to the curb this November.
So please, John, I'm counting on you to split a donation between EMILYs List and my campaign to help me flip this seat, defend our Democratic majority, and block a Rick Scott-led Senate.

Make no mistake: Mitch McConnell's time as Senate GOP leader was one of the worst things to ever happen to the Senate. It will take years for our country and our democracy to fully recover from his decades of corruption, cronyism, extremism, and obstruction.
But Rick Scott as Senate majority leader would be much, much worse.
He owned a health care company that conducted one of the worst Medicare fraud cases in U.S. history -- which is how he had the money to buy his governorship and his Senate seat. Then he wrote a plan to raise taxes on working families and end Medicare and Social Security. THEN he co-sponsored a nationwide ban on abortions that could send doctors to prison. All that destruction and he's only been in the Senate for a single term. Imagine what he could do as GOP Leader.
In short -- Rick Scott shouldn't be allowed to step foot in the U.S. Senate, let alone lead the GOP caucus, whether they have the majority or not.
But with McConnell out of the way, Scott is under the impression that this will be an easy win. Which is why I need your help to prove him wrong.
This is a make-or-break moment -- not just for my campaign, but for our entire country. I'm hoping I can count on you to split just $5 between EMILYs List and my campaign to make sure we can defeat Rick Scott in November.
