John, the stakes in this race – in our grassroots movement – just got dramatically higher. I had to let you know what our team learned:

My opponent, Sen. Marco Rubio, just hauled in $4 million, thanks to the help of Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump and GOP megadonors. $4 million – that's more than any GOP incumbent raised during this same period of the 2020 elections.  

Make no mistake: The GOP is coalescing all their power to build him a massive war chest – cash that could make all the difference in Florida, where the last Senate race was decided by just 0.12 percentage points. 

I barely pulled ahead of my opponent this quarter. But John, the GOP won't let this momentum last long: The Senate Republican campaign arm is attacking me. My opponent is spreading lies about me. And experts are saying this could be the most expensive Senate race of 2022. 

I cannot afford to slow down or let up – not even for a second. Not when Florida's Senate seat could decide the future of the Senate majority. So please, John, I'm counting on you to keep us ahead of the GOP's ruthless spending power: Split a contribution of $18 or more between me and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to help me defeat my GOP opponent, flip this Senate seat and protect our Democratic Senate majority!

I'm so grateful to have you as a driving force in this campaign, John. Together, we've proven our strength – and I know it's enough to flip Florida blue. Let's keep it up.
