Apologies for dropping into your inbox again, but I just had to reach out. I'm closing in on my mid month deadline – and I have some bad news. As of 2 p.m. I'm falling short of my Mid Month goal. So I'm coming to you personally, friend:

We have a real chance to win and protect our Democratic Senate majority, but Marco Rubio is already attacking me. And with Mitch McConnell and GOP outside groups pouring millions into Florida to prop up Marco Rubio, I must hit my Mid Month goal.

Recent polls have us neck and neck, so I've got to ask: Will you make a contribution of $5 or more to help me flip Florida blue and expand our Democratic Senate majority? Every single grassroots donation matters more than ever ahead of my Mid Month deadline.

Your support humbles me,

- Val Demings
