This is one of the biggest and most personally meaningful moments in our race for Florida's Senate seat. Former President Barack Obama just endorsed me!
To have the support from President Obama is a humbling moment. I was proud to volunteer for his campaign in 2008 and 2012, and I’m so proud to have his support in mine. He is a true public servant and a determined campaigner who has fought hard to better our nation. He believes in the grassroots movement we've built, John — a movement that includes you. Together, with Barack Obama fighting alongside us, we will defeat Rick Scott and protect our Democratic Senate majority!
And today, my campaign is proud to launch an ad featuring President Obama speaking to the importance of our race. You can watch that ad here — I hope you love it as much as I do.

This endorsement will fuel a huge amount of momentum, but we cannot rest on our laurels for a second. In fact, President Obama's endorsement and belief in this race is a signal for us to work even harder. Because right now, polls show me in a statistical tie with Rick Scott, but he's already spent $37 MILLION on ads to defeat me.
President Obama knows the power of a grassroots movement — the power that people like you have when they make a donation in the name of hope and change. That’s why he released an ad talking to voters in this race. And that's why I need you to help me hit my $500,000 rapid response goal before midnight to get this ad in front of every voter so we can defeat Rick Scott.
Please join me and President Obama in this race to defeat Rick Scott: Rush a donation of $25 or whatever to split between me and Fight for Progress to win in Florida and protect our Democratic Senate majority!
