Hi friends – Jonathan here, Congresswoman Demings' Finance Director. I'm writing to you for the first time because we’re up against a massive FEC reporting deadline and falling short of what we need to raise. The congresswoman has spoken proudly about what a phenomenal grassroots team this is, so today, we're really hoping we can count on your support.

As you may know, the RNC has been attacking Congresswoman Demings. They've set their sights on Florida and are determined to beat us and retake the House majority. And they have more than $55 million in the bank – and counting – to do it. 

Every campaign experiences make-or-break moments: Do we stay silent in the face of attacks? Or do we fight back? For the congresswoman, it's always the latter. And right now, we have an opportunity that will fuel our grassroots momentum here in Florida and protect our House majority:

After speaking to a group of donors about how we're falling $8,874 short of our end-of-quarter FEC goal, they've agreed to MATCH all donations to help us make up the shortfall. So on behalf of Congresswoman Demings, I'm making my very first ask of you: Can you make a donation of $5 now and have it DOUBLED to fight back against President Trump and the RNC, win in Florida and keep the House blue? 

The past three-and-a-half years with President Trump in the White House have been a disgrace – and it's Congresswoman Demings who has been on the front lines holding him accountable, all while leading on issues like gun safety and police reform.

But in the last three months alone, President Trump's lack of leadership has become even more dangerous. As the congresswoman put it, "America is on fire right now, and the president of the United States is running around with gasoline." He's allowed a pandemic to wreak havoc across our country. He's amplified hateful rhetoric and lied time and again to the American people. And now, he has set his sights on defeating us and taking back the House.

It's why Congresswoman Demings is fighting back and fighting harder than ever. She's determined to put people first and to serve as a firewall against the president's corruption. With you – with this entire team – we can do it. We can realize the progress our country needs. 

But we cannot risk losing our firewall – and Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight is reporting the GOP has a shot at taking back the House. In such a high stakes election, your support matters more than ever. 

With our critical FEC deadline at midnight on June 30, we are counting on you to take FULL advantage of this match before it expires. So please, rush a donation of $5 or more now – and have every dollar doubled – to win in Florida and defend our Democratic House majority!

We can't tell you how much we appreciate your support. It's an honor to fight alongside you on Team Demings, and we're excited to work with you all the way through to Election Day.
