“No.” “Sorry, I’m
not interested.” “I can’t make a difference.”
These are all
phrases I’ve heard too often in my life.
80% of people I reach
out to share my story tell me one of those three
phrases.
John,
I believe in the American Dream.I’m the son
of a bartender who grew up to become a United States Senator. I’m
proud to say I’m one of the lucky folks living the American
Dream!
That’s why I’m writing you
today. My story is uniquely American. I could tell you
that I did this all on my own. I could tell you that I simply pulled
myself up by the bootstraps and one day I was a U.S. Senator. But
that’s just not true; I had tons of
help.
I
have always relied on support from grassroots conservatives
like you, John.When I ran for Florida House in West
Miami, I didn’t have big corporate donors backing me. And when I ran
for Senate against Charlie Crist, there were no megadonors backing me.
Everything
I’ve achieved has been because of folks like
you!
John, I’m so deeply grateful for
all of your support. None of what I’ve achieved would be possible
without you. Supporters like you are what drive me and my
team. I know that I can always rely on you for support. And
right now, I am counting on you for help.
My
CRITICAL Extended End of Quarter 2 Deadline is
today, and I’m still falling short. This isn’t an arbitrary
goal, John. My team has to report our Second Quarter fundraising
numbers to the FEC. All of that information will be
public, and if we miss our goal, the Democrats will have a
field day.
As we get closer and closer to 2024,
it is more crucial than ever to present a strong front to the
Democrats. Especially after the way things went in 2022, this is no
time to show weakness,
John!
