Hi friend! It's doughnut day at the office! 🍩💝😋
My team has been working nonstop to defeat Rick Scott ahead of our biggest mid-month FEC deadline ever, so I've brought a few dozen doughnuts to HQ for my campaign staff to enjoy! Look, our fundraising numbers are going public in TWO days and I'm up against my LAST $5 MILLION FEC mid-month goal that I need your help to reach by midnight tonight.
If you're short on time and ready to retire Rick Scott next fall, you can chip in here to help me reach my goal and flip Florida blue! But before I dig in with the team, I want to share why doughnuts are such a big deal to me — and how they'll help us save our Senate majority.

When I was 14, my family came to America with big dreams for a better life. But those early days were hard. My mom worked double shifts, yet we still struggled to cover rent for our small, one room apartment.
So, once I turned 15, I got a job working the early morning shift at a local doughnut shop. Taking as many hours as I could at minimum wage wasn't easy, but the checks I brought home gave my family a little room to breathe.
I'm not the only one who got their start in the doughnut business. When he was a young man, my GOP opponent, Rick Scott, bought two doughnut shops.
While I spent my mornings mixing, kneading, and baking before school to keep the lights on at home, Rick Scott profited off the hard work of people like me.
For me, the doughnuts represent a lifeline that helped my family afford rent. For Rick Scott, they represent the beginning of his corporate career.
I went on to graduate from college, where I found my calling in the fight to make life a little bit easier for working-class families like mine, and later became the first South American immigrant ever elected to Congress.
He went on to defraud Medicare, amass a massive fortune, buy a Senate seat, and cozy up to Donald Trump — and if he buys another term this fall, he could shape the Senate GOP in his extremist image as its next leader.
So if you ask me, our differing stories in the doughnut business make the differences between us pretty clear.
But I've seen countless times that even the smallest acts, like working at a doughnut shop for minimum wage, can make transformative change. And it's exactly how we're going to win this campaign in November.
That's why I'm asking you to chip in just $10 — about the cost of a dozen doughnuts — to send me to the Senate. Can you chip in by my urgent deadline to help me retire Rick Scott? This campaign is powered by small-dollar donations, so every cent makes a big difference.

Thank you so much — I hope you get to indulge in a doughnut today, too.
