John,

Early voting is Democrats in the FL-06 special just pulled ahead with a 645 vote lead in key Volusia County, the largest county in our district.

Here’s where the numbers stand in Volusia county after the initial first 6 hours of early voting:

Voter turnout in Volusia County as of 2:20 PM yesterday

Democrats leading in turnout by 645 votes in a county Trump carried by 60% is unheard of.

We are also performing extremely well with independent voters so our lead may even be bigger than that 645 vote figure.

Volusia County which includes Daytona Beach is our largest and most populated county in FL-06. Our path to victory is contingent upon getting out the vote here so while a great early sign 645 votes is way too close for comfort.

The National GOP is focusing everything they have on keeping this seat red and if our lead remains this small they could quickly bolt ahead of us. Just today Pro-Trump crypto PACs announced that they would be dumping millions into this district in support of our MAGA opponent. We cannot get complacent here.

We need to throw everything we can muster into improving our lead and widening the gap between Democratic and Republican voter turnout. Can you send a rapid donation of $50, $25, or even $5, split with Hold Them Accountable, so we can put it to work immediately in battleground Volusia County?

We are on the brink here people - we need your help to keep pushing.

Thank you for your support and belief in this campaign.

Josh Weil
FL-06 Democratic Nominee
