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

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 Rubio 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 Rubio this quarter. But friend, the GOP won't let this momentum last long: The Senate Republican campaign arm is attacking me. Marco Rubio 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, friend, I'm counting on you to keep us ahead of the GOP's ruthless spending power: Rush a contribution of $5 or more now to help me defeat Marco Rubio, flip this Senate seat and protect our Democratic Senate majority!

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