Here's the deal, friend: I'm just hours away from closing the gap to meet my $150,000 midnight goal. My race will likely decide Senate control, and now that Rick Scott is running for Senate Republican leader, it could also decide who the next Senate majority leader is. But I'm still statistically tied with Rick Scott in the polls, so I have to ask:

With his abysmal 35% approval among Floridians — lower than both Marco Rubio and Ron DeSantis — experts at CNN report that out-of-touch Republican Senator Rick Scott is one of the most vulnerable GOP senators on the ballot.

But you need to understand that he won't go down without a fight: It cost $64 MILLION of his own money to eke out a 10,033-vote win last time, and now he's writing checks for millions to buy Florida's seat again.

So I'm counting on a massive surge in grassroots fundraising to meet this critical goal, compete with his attack ad spending, and keep my own ads on the air — and friend, I'm only asking for $5.

Just $5 to help me run ads to spread the truth about Scott’s record.

Just $5 to help me keep building an incredible staff.

Just $5 to help me travel and meet voters across the Sunshine State.

Just $5 to help me turn out the vote in blue districts, register new voters, and get my message out to the swing voters who will make or break this election.

Just $5 from you could be enough to beat Rick Scott and save our Senate majority.

If we flip Florida, the Senate is virtually guaranteed to stay blue. But that only happens if we have the resources to keep up the fight against his fortune. So friend, will you please chip in just $5 or more right now to help me compete with Rick Scott's massive fortune, overcome his attack ads, and flip Florida — and keep the Senate — blue?

Thank you for your generous support — it's more powerful than you think.
