This is critical, friends: We just launched the first ad of our campaign to win in Florida and preserve our Democratic House majority. And the new, higher
stakes of this election mean it's never been more important that we have it running.

The latest polls show Florida is in play – and the GOP is closing the voter 
registration gap, along with pushing every suppression tactic they can. What happens here will determine who's in the White House – and, if I'm being honest, the future of the Supreme Court and our shared values, from protecting health care for millions and voting rights to preventing gun violence. 

But we're falling short of where we need to be ahead of our final end-of-quarter goal before the election – and missing this now could mean difficult decisions like going dark, giving President Trump and his cronies the ability to overpower our message. 

I had my finance team pull our latest report before I got in touch with you, and we are on track to miss that goal by $6,311. I wouldn't come to you like this unless it was important, friends: A group of fired-up Democrats just offered to match every single contribution to keep our ad on the air.

Will you rush $5 or more right now and have every single dollar doubled to keep our ad on the air, win in Florida and defend our Democratic House majority? We can't make up the shortfall without you. 

With President Trump's bus tour and rallies in Florida (despite the ongoing pandemic) and the RNC attacking me personally, ads like this are crucial to mobilizing the voters that will turn out to keep the House blue and defeat President Trump. 

Floridians and the American people deserve to use their vote this election to have a say in who should be the next Supreme Court justice. And beating President Trump is going to take combating his misinformation campaign with resources like our digital ad. There has never been a more important moment to fight back – because if we don’t now, we’ll never be able to secure progress on the crucial issues Americans are counting on.

Whether grassroots campaigns like ours have the resources to keep digital ads live is decided by folks like you, friends: So please, before this match expires, I am personally asking you to to donate $5, $25, or more — and have every single dollar doubled — to keep our most important ad of the campaign on the air so that we can win in Florida and keep our House majority. 

Thank you for ensuring that our campaign reaches as many voters as possible.

Congresswoman Val Demings
