Floridians are hurting, friend.

Under Republican leadership, our state faced the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the country. Parents are struggling to make ends meet. Families are grieving their loved ones.

I know what it's like to struggle: I grew up poor in the segregated South, the daughter of a maid and a janitor. But my unlikely story of opportunity is proof of what is possible – and what should be possible – for every American.

That's why I'm running to defeat Marco Rubio and deliver the leadership Floridians need in challenging times. But I can only win with your help – and it's going to take all of us working together to flip Florida blue. 

Will you donate $5 right now to help me defeat Marco Rubio, flip Florida blue and expand our Senate majority?

As Florida's next U.S. senator, I will never tire in the work to make sure the greatness of America is accessible and affordable for all Americans. 

But now I'm facing one of my biggest challenges yet. I'm neck and neck with Marco Rubio in recent polling – and political experts like James Carville have said they have "zero doubt" I can win.

Here's the catch: Mitch McConnell and his megadonors have already raised millions of dollars they can pour into this race because they know Marco Rubio is more vulnerable than ever. The only chance I have to catch up is with a surge of grassroots support, so I'm counting on you to chip in now: 

Will you donate $5 right now to ensure I have the resources I need to defeat Marco Rubio and deliver better leadership for Floridians?

Thank you,
