Friend,
|
|
With just 15 days to go until Election Day, and early voting starting today — against a backdrop of recovery after two major hurricanes — I wanted to give you an inside look at where we stand in our race to retire Rick Scott.
|
|
While I usually wouldn't go into this much detail, I also wouldn't have made it this far without you, so it's only right that you should have full disclosure.
|
|
But you also need to know that tonight is a major deadline, and I can't afford to fall short on my $500,000 goal — can I count on you rush $5 now and keep me on track to reach my midnight goal and flip Florida blue?

Subject: [INTERNAL MEMO] The Case for Florida's Senate Race
|
|
|
|
At this stage of the 2024 election, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell's race in Florida is now the Democrats' BEST SENATE PICKUP OPPORTUNITY nationwide:
|
- Columnists at The Washington Post report that Rick Scott has failed to write as many of the "massive personal checks that he used to win the governor’s mansion."
|
- Despite previously self-funding his races at historic levels, Rick Scott has never won an election in Florida by more than 1%.
|
- Debbie's run a highly efficient ad campaign fueled by small-dollar donations, allowing her to reach 76% of voters across Florida's four top media markets.
|
- Recent polls by a GOP-allied firm shows Scott's popularity underwater by 11 points, and the race in a DEAD HEAT at Scott 50 - Mucarsel‑Powell 48.
|
- Another advantage is the popular ballot initiative for restoring abortion rights, which is expected to help drive turnout similar to that of the 2020 election.
|
- With a personal story that easily counters Scott's "socialism" attacks, and regular appearances on Spanish-language media, Debbie can rally Latino voters — nearly 1 in every 4 voters in Florida — unlike any other Senate candidate this cycle.
|
|
The only thing left that Debbie needs to win is a sizable grassroots cash infusion over the last two weeks — especially before her $500,000 midnight deadline. With it, she can help retain the Senate for Democrats, and bring new leadership to the Sunshine State.

|
|
Will you please chip in $5, $25, or any amount you can spare now to help me reach my $500,000 midnight goal on time, retire Rick Scott, and flip Florida's Senate seat blue?

Thank you for all you do.
Let's win this,
