Friend, I'm reaching out one last time before my 11:59 p.m. fundraising deadline because I'm still 352 supporters short of my Founding Donor goal. If I miss my important goal, I'll sadly start off my campaign at a major disadvantage – and in what's already being described as a top battleground race, I simply cannot afford to fall short. 

I got into this race because the stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines: You and I are witnessing in real time a Republican Party more concerned with restricting voting rights and spreading conspiracy theories than actually leading. I’m determined to do something about it – but I need this powerful grassroots team alongside me.

Many of you have stepped up to this moment, and I’m so grateful – but we're not quite where we need to be yet. So please, can I count on you to make a contribution of $5 or more to become a Founding Donor?

I’m so honored and humbled to have you on my team, friend.

Subject: Our first big deadline

After Congresswoman Val Demings announced she was running for Senate to defeat Marco Rubio, grassroots donations started pouring in!

But we're up against our first big fundraising deadline at 11:59 p.m. TONIGHT, and we still need 407 Founding Donors. 

CNN is already calling Florida's Senate seat one of the most likely to flip, but Marco Rubio – aided by Mitch McConnell and GOP outside groups – will pour MILLIONS of dollars into Florida to hang on to this seat and dismantle Democrats' majority in the Senate.  

The only way we can fight back and win is with an unprecedented grassroots movement, so we cannot afford to fall short of our very first goal of the campaign. Can Congresswoman Demings count on you to rush a contribution and become a founding donor before our 11:59 p.m. deadline?

Donate $5 or more now – whatever you can spare so we don't come up short – to help Val Demings defeat Marco Rubio in Florida and protect our Democratic Senate majority!
