Friend, we know this will be a close race. And today, I'm asking for your help.

Back in 2018, Democrats came just 0.12% of the vote short of flipping Florida blue. Now, with experts saying that a win in Florida would virtually guarantee Democrats keep our Senate majority, the stakes are higher than ever – and we have a real shot to win.

All of the experts – from analysts at CNN to Roll Call – are calling Marco Rubio one of the most vulnerable senators in the country. And with recent polling showing this race neck and neck, I need your support now more than ever.   

That's why I set a goal of having 50,000 grassroots supporters activate their Election Year memberships – but as of right now, we're only 29% of the way to that goal. Take a look at your record, friend:

Will you rush $5 or more now to activate your Election Year membership and help me defeat Marco Rubio?

Friend, missing this goal could mean losing both Florida's Senate seat and our Democratic Senate majority. That's why I need you to join me by making a donation before tonight's deadline:

Will you make a donation of $5 or more now – I promise, whatever you can spare is truly appreciated – to activate your Election Year membership? Whatever you donate will help me defeat Marco Rubio in the race that CNN is reporting could decide Senate control. Please, rush a donation right now!

I've overcome too many challenges in my life to simply let an extremist party beholden to Donald Trump take back power in Congress. I am determined to defeat Marco Rubio and expand our Senate control, but I need your help to do it. 

With gratitude,

Val Demings
