Friend – as I close in on my most important fundraising deadline to date, I've never forgotten that the movement we're building is far bigger than me.
I'm in this race to expand my unlikely story of opportunity to more Americans. You see, there was nothing easy about growing up as a poor, Black girl in the South, the daughter of a maid and a janitor. I went to segregated schools, washed dishes and worked at McDonald's to pay my way through college.
I'm in this race to create meaningful change for hardworking families like mine – people who deserve leaders that understand the challenges they are facing.
And I'm in this race to expand our Democratic Senate majority and protect our democracy – because CNN says Florida is one of the MOST likely Senate seats to flip blue in 2022, and winning here will virtually guarantee Democratic Senate control.
But Florida's last Senate race was decided by a margin of just 0.12%, and I'm neck and neck with Rubio in recent polls. Right now, I need ALL hands on deck to reach my $250,000 End of Quarter fundraising goal so I can compete against the GOP dark money pouring into Florida.
I hate to ask, but if you believe in this campaign and want to help me defend our Democratic Senate majority, will you please chip in $5 – or anything you can spare – before my End of Quarter deadline?

With your help, I will defeat Marco Rubio. With your help, I will ensure the Senate reflects the diversity that makes our country strong – and ensure that every voice can be heard.
All the best,
Val Demings
