Team,

I just returned from three days of climate and political events across Florida’s three major media markets, and here are my conclusions:

1. It’s winnable! Our Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell ("DMP") is only one percentage point behind Republican Scott, who enjoys a paltry 37% voter approval.

2. Turnout will be great, aided by a reproductive rights amendment on the ballot that needs 60% to pass.

3. We have momentum. 'Shy' Democrats are coming out into the sunshine, seeing each other, and gaining confidence. By contrast, Trump display is way down.

4. Republicans have a big vulnerability: Florida's property insurance crisis is affecting nearly everyone. We can show how fossil-fuel-funded Republican climate denial wrecked their property insurance. This issue lights up the room.

I was not in Texas, but it has similar flood insurance issues along its coast, and our candidate Collin Allred has been steadily closing on Ted Cruz and just got his first public poll showing him winning. The trajectory in both states is going our way!

So please look hard at Florida and Texas and send what you can to DMP HERE and Allred HERE.

Thank you,

Sheldon Whitehouse
