Hi there, John:

This is Annette Taddeo. I’m a Democrat, the first Latina Democrat to ever serve in Florida’s State Senate, and a working mom fighting for our kids’ futures.

For the first time in 60 days, I am officially allowed to ask you for campaign donations. So, before I say anything else, I need to personally ask you, John:

Will you donate $5 to my campaign for Governor?

I was taught by my dad to never give up. He was an American fighter pilot in World War II. I’ve always known that my fighting spirit came from him.

Throughout my life, I’ve faced many hardships.

Enduring 19 surgeries due to a cleft lip.

Having my father kidnapped by Marxist terrorists.

Fleeing my home in Colombia and working my way through university in the U.S.

But, I’ve always had the firm belief that things would get better.

It’s that belief that’s taken me to where I am today. I’m a proud mom, a small business owner, and every day I have the honor of representing Miami in Florida’s State Senate – the first Latina Democrat to ever be elected to that body.

I always believed the American Dream was accessible to me. And today, it’s my life.

I know there are countless hardworking Floridians in each one of this state’s 67 counties. And I believe in them, John. I’m running for Governor because I believe every Floridian should have access to the American Dream, just like I did.

For the first time in two months, I am allowed to fundraise. Let me be clear with you, John – raising money is this campaign’s first, second, and third priority right now. If you believe in me; if you believe in my candidacy; if you believe in a Florida that works for everyone:

Can I count on you to chip in $5, $10, or $15 right now to help my campaign reach its $50,000 goal?

Thank you,

Annette Taddeo
Candidate for Governor of Florida
