Looking at our fundraising numbers today after sounding the alarm last night is nothing short of a wake-up call, friends.

President Trump sees Florida as his gateway to taking back the House majority and four more years in the White House – and there just haven't been enough grassroots donations coming in for us to fight back. Take a look for yourself:

Even though the president and the RNC are actively attacking me and trying to dismantle our Democratic House majority, we're still on track to miss our mid-month fundraising goal. And if we don't act fast, President Trump will get exactly what he wants. Can you step up and make a donation to get us back on track, friends? Every dollar goes immediately to winning in Florida and keeping the House blue.

From the bottom of my heart, friends, I'm asking you to step up, and prevent House Democrats from losing our majority and President Trump from winning Florida. Our House majority is the greatest vehicle for progress and our only firewall against President Trump's corruption that our country has.

And with less than 50 days between now and Election Day, protecting that majority hinges on hitting crucial fundraising goals like tonight's at midnight.

So please, can I count on you to rush a donation of $5 or more to get our fundraising back on track, defeat President Trump and keep the House blue? This close to Nov. 3, every dollar could be the difference between winning and losing – and we can't close the gap without you.

Thanks for stepping up when it's really urgent. I couldn't do this without you.
