Friend,

For too long, workers' rights here in Florida and nationwide have been under attack from greedy companies and their political cronies — such as my anti-labor opponent, Sen. Rick Scott.

Even as working Floridians are barely scraping by — even as the cost of housing and home insurance and health care skyrockets and take-home pay doesn't keep up — Rick Scott is doing nothing about it.

That's right. Our multimillionaire, former-CEO senator, whose wealth has only multiplied since taking office, is doing nothing to help the working Floridians he's meant to serve.

Well, this is our best chance to retire Rick Scott: Brand-new polls show me in a STATISTICAL TIE with Scott, and if we win here in Florida, it virtually guarantees that Democrats will hold the Senate and fight to give working families every opportunity to succeed!

If you're with me, then make a donation of $5 or whatever you can to send this pro-labor Latina to the U.S. Senate! It's only with your grassroots support that I can counter Rick Scott's personal fortune, compete, and win this race. Rush a donation now. >>>

Now, I know that Rick Scott will try to point at my celebration and support of organized labor as just another reason why I'm a big, bad "socialista."

But no amount of petty name-calling could ever make me shy away from fighting alongside working families for the fair wages, safe workplaces, and access to high-quality health care that all of us deserve.

I know firsthand how important it is to support hardworking Floridians who may be struggling. As a teenager, I worked a minimum-wage job to help my family keep a roof over our heads and pay my way through school.

So unlike Rick Scott, I will be a true voice for Florida’s workers in the U.S. Senate. But first, I've got to compete in and win this battleground race that could decide Senate control — and I'm up against millions in attacks so far with the worst from Rick Scott yet to come.

That's why I'm asking: Help me fight back and win by making a donation of $5 or whatever you can right now. With your support, I'll become Florida's next U.S. Senator and fight for the working people of our state and country!

Thank you,

Debbie
