For four long years, friend, we fought hard. We mobilized. We spoke out. Grassroots teams like this one donated whatever they could. And now, we are in the midst of unleashing a bold agenda for the American people – thanks to our emboldened Democratic majorities in Congress and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at the helm.

But I want to be honest with you about where we’re at here in Florida. Our work is far from over. Trump won our state – by a lot. The GOP flipped two House seats here and put themselves in a strong position to take back the majority in 2022. And their actions thus far in 2021 have demonstrated the Republican Party is in no rush to abandon their extremism. Not even with Donald Trump gone.

The progress our nation urgently needs begins with our Democratic House majority. So with Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight reporting Republicans are on track to take back the House, our work to defend it begins now. That’s why I’ve set an ambitious goal to secure 231 Blue Majority Members. It's essential we get enough grassroots supporters to activate their membership with a $5 donation before our next big fundraising deadline at midnight tonight.

Building the resources to win in Florida and protect our Democratic House majority begins here and now, and I know I can count on you. So please, will you make a contribution of $5 now to become a Blue Majority Member before the midnight deadline?

Listen, I know we’re still celebrating our victories – and rightfully so. But while the next battles feel a long ways away, they’re actually right in front of us. Every day. Because change doesn’t happen overnight. And with the Biden administration rolling out major pieces of legislation to rebuild our country, preserving our Democratic House majority for the duration of his presidency is absolutely crucial. 

But we are up against an extremist Republican Party backed by huge sums of special-interest money – which is why I need YOU to join me in defending our majority so we can ensure decades of progress to come.

So please, will you donate $5 or more to become a Blue Majority Member today? Every dollar will help us win here in Florida and protect our Democratic House majority in the fights ahead.

I’ve asked a lot of you, I know. But it’s only because I’ve witnessed firsthand what we can accomplish together. Thanks for always fighting alongside me.
