Friend,

As the leader of the Senate Democrats and the Senate majority leader, I've had a front-row seat to the disaster that is Florida Sen. Rick Scott.

I watched him write the plan to end Social Security and Medicare. I watched him co-sponsor and vote for a nationwide abortion ban and support Florida's extreme abortion ban. I watched him skip important votes on national security funding so he could be at one of Donald Trump's criminal trials. What a lapdog.

Now, Rick Scott — who has done nothing to better the lives of Americans while in the Senate — is running to be Senate majority leader. Well, I say enough of Rick Scott. 

That's why the campaign arm of the Senate Democrats just authorized a multi-million dollar investment to help Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell defeat Rick Scott, flip Florida blue, and save our Senate majority. Will you help MATCH this investment by rushing a donation of $5 or whatever you can spare to help Debbie win and retire Rick Scott for good?

It's not every day the campaign arm of the Senate Democrats sends major resources like this. We only make investments this big when we all believe with every fiber in our body that the race is winnable. 

Friend, hear it from me: Florida is in play, and Florida is winnable thanks to Debbie — and really, thanks to you and this grassroots team. Because donors have donated $5, $25, $50 at a time, Debbie has been able to travel the state, meet voters, get ads up, and fund a truly winning campaign. 

As a result, Rick Scott's approval rating is at an all-time low, and Debbie is polling just a single point behind him. 

Because this race is winnable and Senate Democrats are sending major resources to flip Florida blue, Rick Scott and his GOP allies are spending lavishly to attack Debbie and stop her momentum in the polls. And let us not forget that Rick Scott spent $64 million of his personal fortune to buy this seat last time around. Debbie and I need you with us to fight back from now to Election Day, which is why we're raising $1 million, entirely from grassroots donations, in the next 24 hours.

Moments like this are when the Senate majority is won or lost, so please don't sleep on Florida. Join me and rush a donation of $5 or whatever you can to help Debbie defeat Rick Scott and protect Democratic Senate control!

Thank you,

Chuck Schumer
