We are only 100 days from the most consequential election of our lifetimes, friends. 100 days from our opportunity to right the ship and restore decency and accountability. I know that seems like a lot of time, but in the span of a campaign, 100 days is the blink of an eye.

This is where the tough work begins. It's where we must ask ourselves: Will we sit this one out on the sidelines? Or will we give everything we have in this fight to defend our democracy? Our shared Democratic values are on the line in November, friends: Good jobs and secure retirements. Health care we can afford and doctors we can trust. Saving lives from preventable gun violence. 

We've never needed the support of this grassroots team more, so will you please give $5 (becomes $10) right now to become an official Democratic Majority Defender? Whatever you give will have double the impact toward keeping the House blue and stopping the corruption of President Trump and the GOP.

With President Trump and the GOP breaking fundraising records, it's going to be a difficult fight – but I’m hopeful, friends: A group of generous donors just offered to match all gifts to help us reach our goal of 2,500 new Democratic Majority Defenders to keep Florida blue and protect our only firewall against President Trump's divisive agenda.

Winning in Florida is essential to protecting our Democratic House majority – and that majority is our best hope of stopping President Trump and the GOP’s corrupt agenda. A corrupt agenda that's allowed a pandemic to wreak havoc across our country. 

Friends, President Trump and the GOP are pulling out all the stops to defeat me, win Florida and take back the House. That’s why I’m personally asking you to make a donation to activate your Democratic Majority Defender membership before our match expires. Can I count on you to step up right now?

Please rush $5 or more – and have every dollar doubled – to become a Democratic Majority Defender. Whatever you give will go twice as far in building up our resources to fight President Trump and keep the House blue!

Over the next 100 days, we need all the grassroots energy we can muster. Whether you make the commitment to become a Democratic Majority Defender today could make the difference between keeping our House majority and surrendering it to President Trump and the GOP. I hope I can count on you being part of this team.

Thank you,

Congresswoman Val Demings
