Friend, I apologize for being so blunt, but I just read a text from my finance director with awful news: I fell just $9,561 short of my most crucial End of Quarter fundraising goal.
When I miss my important goals, I risk my chance of winning in Florida – particularly since Marco Rubio just hauled $4 million last quarter (his best few months of fundraising in his whole career).
So here’s what I’m seeing, friend: Marco Rubio and the Republican establishment are going to keep raising huge sums of money. They're already attacking me, and they'll keep attacking me. That's why I cannot lose any ground – not when Florida's last Senate race was decided by only 10,033 votes. So I asked my team to pull your supporter record, and here's what I saw:
SUPPORTER RECORD

Deadline: 11:59 p.m.
End of Quarter donation: PENDING
Friend, can I count on you to chip in $5, $25 or more to make up this fundraising shortfall, flip Florida blue and defeat Marco Rubio? Every dollar goes directly to defending our Senate majority.

I'm not exaggerating when I say 2022 is a tipping point that could determine our country's future. Voting rights. Pandemic recovery. These and other vital issues hinge on expanding our Senate majority – and Roll Call is reporting that Florida is one of the states that will determine Senate control next year.
With Marco Rubio having a record fundraising quarter while we're falling short of our grassroots goals, I'm worried we'll have to make some difficult decisions like pulling back ads or our voter registration efforts. I know engaged supporters like you don't want to see that happen.
But we're looking at a pretty hefty deficit of $9,561. Will you please rush a few dollars right now to help us close this shortfall and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

Thank you for joining in this fight.

Val Demings here: I can’t thank you enough for fighting alongside me to flip Florida blue.
Florida will determine whether Democrats keep our Senate majority – that’s why Republicans are pouring millions of dollars into this race to crush our movement and keep Florida red permanently . Our grassroots campaign is off to a great start, but in a race as close as this one, I need your help to surge ahead and defend the Senate.
I’m relying on grassroots supporters like you, donating to emails like this, to help me defeat Marco Rubio and stop Mitch McConnell from flipping the Senate. Will you donate today to help me flip Florida blue? Click here to donate now.
