John —

I want to tell you about my good friend, Val Demings. I think she’s the real deal – so this email isn’t short. And at the end, I’m going to ask you to help her campaign to unseat Republican Senator Marco Rubio in Florida.

Just a week ago today Val Demings launched her Senate campaign in Florida to defeat Marco Rubio and expand our razor-thin Senate majority – and I know she can win.

Val is brilliant, a proven leader, tough as nails, and we desperately need her commonsense approach in the Senate.

Val knows Florida, and she knows public service. She served for 27 years in law enforcement and became the first Black woman to serve as Orlando's police chief. I mentioned she’s tough as nails – didn’t I?

In the House, she's fought for gun reform, affordable health care, and to protect voting rights. And I stood beside her as she fought to uphold our values against the likes of Donald Trump during the first impeachment. I know she’s the right person for the job.

The stakes are too high for Democrats not to compete everywhere. Our Senate majority is razor-thin at 50-50. To create a better, more just, and safer future for our country, we must defend and expand our Democratic Senate.

But as you know, Republicans are doing everything and anything to tip the scales in their favor – going so far as to introduce and pass voter suppression laws in state legislatures across the country.

Look, I’ve known Val for years and we have been in the trenches together fighting to defend our democracy. And let me tell you, there’s nobody better prepared for the job. She is tenacious, commanding, undaunted, and knows how to fight for what she believes in. And because of her tenacity, I know she can take on Rubio – and I know she can win.

The difference between Marco Rubio and Val Demings couldn’t be clearer: Time after time, Rubio sought to forgive Trump’s worst abuses, while Val fought against them and to uphold our democracy. She has dedicated her life to serving the public and Florida.

I can’t wait to call her a U.S. Senator – but she needs your help to get there.

She needs to keep the momentum high to defeat Rubio. So can you send a donation to our campaigns so we can fight to flip this critical Florida Senate seat blue? [[link removed]]

Just 10,033 votes decided Florida's last Senate race, and it will be close once again. Each dollar split makes a real difference. And with your help, this is a race we can win.

Let’s send Val to the upper chamber. She’d make a damn good Senator.
