This is important, friend: Val Demings is neck and neck with Marco Rubio in a race that experts are saying will decide Senate control – but she's falling short of her Mid Month fundraising goal at the worst possible moment:

With your help, this team is closing the polling gap with Rubio – but unfortunately, Val Demings still doesn't have enough to compete with the GOP's deep pockets. We know our grassroots movement has what it takes to pull ahead and flip Florida blue, but Val Demings needs to meet tonight's fundraising goal to have a shot.

Florida's last Senate election was decided by just 0.12 points – only 10,033 votes – and this race is bound to be just as close. Do you know what that means, friend? Every single dollar is going to make a huge impact on our efforts to win in Florida. We can't afford to cut a single hour of canvassing or phone banking, because every voter we fail to reach could cost her this election. 

It's important, friend: Marco Rubio is breaking fundraising records – and national Republicans have already poured $10 million into this race to keep Democrats like Val Demings from winning in Florida again. 

This is a make-or-break moment for the campaign, so we're counting on grassroots supporters like you to help Val Demings close this fundraising gap, pull ahead in the polls and defeat Marco Rubio. It's the only way to defend the Senate majority and defend our democracy from the GOP.

Please, friend, rush $5 to help Val Demings close this critical fundraising gap. In a race this close, every dollar counts, so we need you to contribute whatever you can to help Val Demings defeat Rubio.

Thank you, 

Team Demings
