Friend, with polling showing me statistically tied with Marco Rubio, he is more vulnerable than ever – BUT we need the resources to compete with him if we want to win Florida's battleground race. 

That's why I just launched a major fundraising push to secure 10,000 Election Year Members. But with time running out before my midnight deadline, I'm falling massively short. My team pulled your membership record, so please take a look:

The pathway before me is tough: Republicans have already sunk $10 million into on-the-ground organizing in Florida to keep our state red permanently. Marco Rubio and the GOP know that if we win here, Democrats are virtually guaranteed to keep control of the Senate. So Mitch McConnell and his allies are launching their first barrage of attack ads to defeat me – and they're amassing tens of millions of dollars to run more in the months to come. 

I'm counting on grassroots supporters like you to help me fight back – because this race is about moving our country forward. It's about expanding our Senate majority so we can pass legislation that will move the needle toward progress on voting rights, climate change, the cost of living and more. 

I know deep in my soul that this people-powered movement CAN defeat Marco Rubio, but not without the resources it takes to compete in what experts believe could be the most expensive Senate race ever. Time is running out, and I'm counting on your immediate help to hit this goal:

Donate $5 or more to become an Election Year Member in my race for U.S. Senate and ensure I have the resources to defeat Marco Rubio, flip Florida blue and expand our Democratic Senate majority!

Thank you so much,

Val Demings
