Hi there, 

As an actor, I've played a man who helped elect and served two great presidents in The West Wing.

I've also played a man that was the architect of a brutal totalitarian society in The Handmaid's Tale. 

While those roles and worlds were fictional, they represent a very real truth: There are those who use the power of their office for good, and there are those who use power to enrich themselves while inflicting harm onto others.

Extremist Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is a prime example of the latter. He literally enriched himself by committing what was then the largest Medicare fraud scheme in U.S. history at the time — and then he used $64 million of his own fortune to buy Florida's Senate seat and unleash Donald Trump's agenda on the American people.

We have the chance to send him packing by electing someone good — someone who cares about protecting our freedoms, not taking them away. Someone who acts with urgency to curb gun violence and protect our environment. Someone who truly cherishes our democracy.

That's Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, and today, I'm asking you to join me in helping Debbie defeat Rick Scott: Chip in a donation of $5, or whatever you can spare, right now to win in Florida, kick Rick Scott out of the Senate, and protect our Democratic majority.

I've never been shy about strongly speaking up when it comes to causes and people I believe in. 

Right now, our country needs people like Debbie. 

We're witnessing an all-out assault on women's rights and reproductive freedom, attacks on immigrants, and even attacks on LGBTQ+ youth. That's Rick Scott and Donald Trump's Republican party for you. 

But Debbie? She's kind. Compassionate. She came to this nation as a young immigrant from Ecuador in search of her American dream — and her public service has been about ensuring that everyone has their own shot at the American dream, too. 

And here's the other thing, friend: No matter how you look at the map, Democrats will only hold the Senate if we flip at least one seat from red to blue. With polling showing Debbie in a statistical dead heat with Rick Scott, the pathway to holding the Senate runs through this race in Florida — full stop.

But it's Debbie against Rick Scott's multimillion-dollar fortune, and he's already dropping major cash on ads attacking her. That's why Debbie is counting on you and me, Friend.

So please, will you chip in $5, or whatever you can, to help Debbie Mucarsel-Powell defeat Rick Scott in Florida? This race is instrumental to holding the Senate majority, so please rush a donation right now.

Thank you,

Bradley Whitford
