Hi, friend – apologies for dropping into your inbox again, but I need to make sure you saw my message below.

I won't reach my grassroots fundraising goal before midnight tonight without the immediate help of 500 more Democratic supporters.

Flipping Florida blue is critical to giving Democrats the extra Senate seat we need to abolish the filibuster, restore voting rights and save our democracy. But right now, we’re hard-pressed to defend our Senate and combat GOP-led voter suppression.

And with polls showing a tight race, I desperately need to hit tonight's fundraising goal to overcome Marco Rubio's millionaire donors and surge ahead: 

Please friend, our democracy is at risk. Will you contribute $5 or more today to help me flip Florida blue and defend our sacred voting rights?

I can't thank you enough for your help.

Subject: I'll be the 50th vote Democrats need to end the filibuster and pass voting rights protections



This is huge, friend: President Biden just announced his support for reforming the filibuster to finally pass crucial voting rights legislation through the Senate.

But here's the problem: It will take 50 votes to get rid of this archaic rule, which means any one senator can stand in the way of progress. That's why Democrats must expand our Senate majority – and my race in Florida can virtually guarantee we do. 

As GOP lawmakers across the country enact hundreds of voter suppression bills, legislation to uphold and expand the right to vote could not be more important. I voted to protect voting rights in the House. And when I'm in the Senate, I'll fight like hell again to make sure voting rights legislation passes, because in the words of my dear friend, the late Rep. John Lewis, "Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part." 

Last week, on Jan. 6, we remembered an attack on our democracy – and it's clear our nation is at an inflection point. We need to do our part now and protect the right to vote.

That's why I'm here today personally asking you – will you support my campaign to become the 50th vote Democrats need in the Senate to abolish the filibuster and protect the right to vote?

Please, give now to help me defeat Marco Rubio and expand our Democratic Senate majority. With polls showing this race neck and neck, every single dollar would help guarantee a Democratic Senate and enough votes to end the filibuster and pass voting rights protections.

Protecting voting rights is the kind of legislation that more than 81 million Americans voted for in 2020. But too many elected officials continue to stand in the way – allowing outdated Senate rules like the filibuster to stop us from making progress and ensuring everyone has the right to vote.

I promise you, I'll fight for – and vote for – this progress every single day as your next U.S. senator.

But I can't get there without your help. Please, will you make a donation to my campaign right now to send another Democrat to the U.S. Senate who will fight for everyday Americans and secure progress like voting rights protections?

Thank you so much for your support,
