I'm sorry to reach out to you with bad news, friend, but this is urgent. We officially missed our triple-match fundraising goal. This comes as the RNC is attacking me personally – and President Trump and the GOP have hundreds of millions of dollars at their disposal to spend in Florida.

When we miss goals like this, we put our Democratic House majority in serious jeopardy, and along with it, all the progress we've made and are yet to make. Republicans are dead set on retaking the House – and have major resources to do it – so they can prop up the agenda of the NRA and other special interests. Our Democratic majority is the only firewall against the GOP's corrupt and dangerous agenda – and it's vital to the success of a Biden-Harris administration.

But, I have some good news that will help us get back on track and win in Florida: the group of donors that matched all gifts yesterday? They've agreed to EXTEND their match – but only until 11:59 p.m. Here's what my team found when they pulled your supporter record, friend: 

I'm counting on you, friend, to make triple the impact in hitting our goal right now: Will you give $5 and have every dollar TRIPLED to win in Florida and keep the House blue? Every dollar goes immediately to protecting our majority and standing up to President Trump's agenda.

Crisis after crisis and scandal after scandal have shown us exactly how much is on the line come Election Day. The president has inflamed the coronavirus pandemic, spread misinformation, and even called for the election to be pushed back while undermining vote-by-mail. And as Americans are mourning and struggling to get by, Republicans have fought Democrats' efforts to protect workers and get get adequate funding for hospitals and coronavirus testing.

Democrats MUST hold the House majority, friend. President Trump and the Republican Party have proven their compassion is reserved only for themselves and their special interest buddies. If they retake the House, they will leave hardworking Americans behind. So with only 24 hours to take full advantage of this match and close our fundraising gap, I'm counting on you to have my back by donating right now: Please make a donation of $5 now – and have every dollar TRIPLED – to hit our goal and keep the House blue.

Thank you so much for your support.
