Friend, I wanted to reach out this evening because we have an important deadline coming up. I'm about to ask you to help me hit my $10 MILLION fundraising goal ahead of my last end-of-month deadline. But first, I want to tell you a story about doughnuts — and how they're going to help us save our Senate majority.

(If you're short on time and ready to retire Rick Scott this fall, you can chip in here to help me make up this fundraising gap and flip Florida blue.)

When I was 14, my family came to America to seek a better life. We arrived here with big dreams for the future. But those early days were hard. I remember my mom working back-to-back double shifts and still struggling to afford rent for our small, one room apartment. 

So, after I turned 15, I got a job working the early morning shift at a local doughnut shop. It was just a minimum wage job, but the small checks I brought home gave my family room to breathe. Finally, after a lot of hard work, the possibilities that we could only dream of before became reality.

We were able to move out of that one room apartment, and I got a scholarship to an incredible college. Eventually, I found a career path where I could give back to the communities and country that gave me so much. That call to service took me to places I had never even dreamed of before. I became the first South American immigrant to serve in Congress, and now, I'm running for the United States Senate.

Making doughnuts in the morning before homeroom brought me all the way to Congress. I've seen time and time again how small acts have the power to create big, transformative change. And that'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 before midnight to help me meet my fundraising goal and defeat Rick Scott? This campaign is powered by small-dollar donations, and every single gift makes a difference.

Thank you so much,

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell
