Friend, in a moment, I’m going to ask you for $5 to defend our Democratic House majority against an extremist Republican Party. But first, let me explain what's at stake and why I need every last grassroots supporter – including you – to help. 

First and foremost: Our majority is razor-thin. Republicans picked up seats last year by electing far-right hard-liners – members who are more concerned about protecting access to guns than protecting people's lives. And now, experts like Nate Silver are reporting the GOP is well positioned to take back the House in 2022. And conservative groups are doing all they can to suppress votes in key states. 

But this isn't just a national issue, it hits us here at home in Florida. Donald J. Trump is making Florida the new home base, ground zero for an extremist Republican Party in his image. And top GOP leaders are kissing the ring at Mar-a-Lago: What happens here could decide the House majority, friend.

Here's why we crucially need your help: A fired-up group of Florida donors is ready to defend our majority, our country and the Sunshine State from Republican extremism – so they're matching EVERY donation to help us raise $7,898 before our critical end-of-quarter deadline. 

That’s why I’m counting on you to rush a donation of $5 or more and have every single dollar doubled to win in Florida and keep the House blue. You can make twice the impact right now – and with the stakes higher than ever, we can't afford not to take full advantage of this unique opportunity.

Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines. I know we're feeling hopeful, and we're working hard to build back better thanks to our Democratic majorities. But we've got to keep fighting. Donald Trump is still the de facto head of the Republican Party, and he is doubling down here in Florida. We need to fight back.

So for the future of our campaign, and truly, the future of our nation, I’m asking: Will you give $5 or more – whatever you can spare to power us to hit our first FEC end-of-quarter goal – and have every dollar DOUBLED to win in Florida and preserve our Democratic House majority?

Thank you for joining me in this fight.
