Hey, friend — Debbie's campaign manager here. We're officially in the final stretch before Election Day, and that means the pressure is on to hit our last major end-of-month fundraising goal. But before I get into that, here's why I'm reaching out:
|
|
Due to the highly sensitive nature of the memo Debbie sent you, I wanted to double-check you saw it. I've also forwarded it here just in case. All its contents are now publicly available, including a few key facts I wanted to highlight.
|
- Rick Scott's approval is at a record low.
|
- Debbie is within STRIKING DISTANCE of his 2-point lead.
|
- We're expecting a surge of voter turnout for the abortion ballot initiative, and we're already seeing record levels of turnout in this first week of early voting.
|
|
Based on the case laid out in the memo — and especially the facts above — Debbie may actually be the more likely candidate to win. So now, the problem is that once Rick Scott gets ahold of this information, he's certain to drop another multimillion-dollar check to save his dwindling lead.
|
|
That's why we're counting on you to step up and help close the last 32% gap to Debbie's last $10 MILLION end-of-month goal — Scott is watching us and will use our fundraising numbers to decide whether it's worth blowing the rest of his kids' inheritance to run even more attack ads in these final days before Nov. 5.
|
|
Please, friend: Don't let that happen. Rush $5, $10, or more to help Debbie close the gap and flip Florida now.

Friend,
|
|
With just 11 days to go until Election Day, and early voting well underway, 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 to rush $5 now to 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 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 has 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 show Scott's popularity is tanking by 11 points, and the race is in a DEAD HEAT, with Scott at 50% to Mucarsel-Powell's 48%.
|
- Another advantage is the popular ballot initiative for restoring abortion rights, which is expected to help drive voter 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.

So friend, now that you know where we stand in the race, there's just one thing left for me to ask you:
|
|
Will you please chip in $5, $10, 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,
Debbie
