John,

My name is Alex Vindman, and I wanted you to hear directly from me: I am running for the United States Senate in Florida.

I’ll explain more about why I chose to run, but if you already know the stakes of this race — and are fired up to defeat Donald Trump’s top ally in the Senate — then please become a Founding Donor by splitting a donation between my campaign and the Democratic Party of Georgia:

I swore an oath to protect this country when I joined the U.S. Army more than two decades ago.

In 2019, I honored that oath by blowing the whistle on Donald Trump’s corrupt phone call with Ukraine, an act that led to Trump’s first impeachment and ultimately cost me my military career.

People told me to keep my head down. But my family came here as refugees to escape tyranny. I sure as hell wasn’t going to bow down to a wannabe tyrant.

This president unleashed a reign of terror and retribution, not just against me and my family, but against all of us.

Today, our country is in chaos. We are entering a dark chapter of American history, one that echoes early stages of authoritarian power consolidation seen elsewhere.

Thug militias attacking citizens. Tariffs pushing prices sky-high. Healthcare premiums through the roof. While all of this is happening, my opponent refuses to put the interests of the American people before her own self-interest.

Ashley Moody screwed Florida homeowners by caving to the big insurance companies, supported this administration that gutted disaster help for communities trying to rebuild, and had over a million dollars in her corporate stock traded last year while she had access to insider information only Congress gets.

They put Ashley Moody in the Senate to be a ‘yes’ vote for Trump and the billionaires. She’s not Florida’s senator. She’s theirs.

We need someone who isn’t afraid to put a check on an outlaw president, to defend our democracy, and to make sure that every American has a fair chance at prosperity.

That is why I am running for Senate, and why I am humbly asking you:

Will you split a donation of any amount between my Senate campaign in Florida and the Democratic Party of Georgia before midnight? Your donations add up quickly when everyone is chipping in.

The billionaires and special interests will throw everything they’ve got to try and stop us. But in the infantry, we didn’t back down from a fight — we went towards it. Join me.

Thank you.

Alex Vindman
