We've got a huge week ahead, friend!

The Democratic National Convention kicks off today, and I can't wait to tune in and see Democrats from across the country come together in Chicago to keep the White House blue.

Over the last four weeks, the grassroots energy on the ground leading up to this moment has been undeniable — but as much as I'd love to be there and soak it up in person, I've got to keep my focus entirely on Florida.

Why? Because my primary election is tomorrow. 

I'm confident I can come out victorious, but in order to keep up the fight for Florida's future once the ballots are tallied, I need your help tonight. Will you please pitch in $5 or more toward my $3 million pre-primary goal to help me flip Florida blue?

So you might be thinking, “With less than 36 hours until the polls close, what good is my donation at this point?”

Here's the thing: Florida's last Senate race was decided by just 10,033 votes. And in a state with 13.4 MILLION registered voters, that's not a lot.

Battleground races like these can be won or lost by just a handful of ballots. So even though I'm polling neck and neck against Rick Scott — and his approval just dropped to an abysmal 35% — we can't afford to be too confident, just to falter before we even cross the finish line.

That's why the team and I have been going full speed ahead. I’ve been all over the state, from Tampa, to Gainesville, to the Keys in the last week — and I’m not stopping. We're racing to connect with voters across the Sunshine State, spread the word about this grassroots movement, and make sure Florida voters know we have a real alternative to another six years with an out-of-touch extremist like Rick Scott at the helm — because after tomorrow, we're in the final stretch. 

In short, we can't hold back now. So please friend: Will you chip in $5, $25, or anything you can to help me give this everything I've got and ensure we start out the final leg of this Senate race strong enough to win this fall?

Unidos, venceremos — together, we've got this.

Thank you,

Debbie
