Hi John,

It’s Eric, Annette Taddeo’s husband. As I’m sure you know, my wife is running a grassroots campaign against Ron DeSantis to be the next governor of Florida.

Now, people don’t believe us when we tell them we got married on April Fool's day. But, not only is it true, it wasn’t by coincidence. At our reception, we actually had people find their table by figuring out a riddle. My anniversary gift to Annette will be flowers (she loves roses), a really nice dinner, a new car, and a diamond necklace. I’m kidding about the car and necklace. The gift I would really love to give her is the support of her campaign by all of you.

Do you have $5 to spare?

I couldn’t be more proud to stand by my wife as she takes on this endeavor.

For too long, Republicans in Florida – led by Ron DeSantis – have pulled our state apart by playing to folks’ worst prejudices.

From the moment I met her, I knew Annette had a unique gift for bringing people together. Throughout her life, she’s had to.

After fleeing from her home in Colombia when it was attacked by Marxist terrorists, Annette came to the United States and worked her way through school. From what she describes, it wasn’t always easy.

One of my favorite things my wife says is, “I don’t know the words 'give up.'”

I know Annette can win this campaign. But we need your support, John.

Today’s our anniversary. While I'd normally like to spend time and celebrate with Annette, this year is a bit different. My wife is running for governor against one of the most dangerous Republican politicians in the country.

So for our anniversary, I’m asking you:

Will you donate $5 to support my wife Annette’s campaign for governor against Ron DeSantis?

Thanks, John. I’m glad you're on this journey with us.

– Eric
