I will not be the first or last to tell you this, friend: Val Demings can flip Florida blue. In a moment, I'm going to explain why that's so important – but first I'm asking you to chip in $5 right now to defeat Marco Rubio.

We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a historic Democratic victory come November by supporting Val Demings in her race – and with her win, Democrats can expand our majority.

I've had a front-row seat to the damage done by a Mitch McConnell-led Senate and to the obstruction in a Senate split 50-50. The truth is, Democrats need to EXPAND our majority – not just protect it – so we have more votes to move our country forward. 

That's why I'm reaching out: Political experts are calling Val Demings' race in Florida a top pickup opportunity for Senate Democrats, and her opponent Marco Rubio is one of the most vulnerable GOP senators in the country.

I know that Val Demings has what it takes to win this important race – but she needs our help: Her big End of Quarter deadline is at midnight tonight, and she's falling short of her $150,000 goal. Will you please donate $5 to help her close the fundraising gap, surge ahead in this close race and expand our Senate majority?

The thing is, Val Demings' race won't be easy. But she's a fighter who never tires of doing good – from her time as a law enforcement officer to the time she managed Donald Trump's impeachment trial. I know she's our best hope to flip Florida blue.

So, here's the deal: I told Val Demings I'd help her raise another $65,189 to flip Florida's Senate seat and expand our Senate majority. We really need to hit that goal before midnight. A GOP super PAC just spent $1.5 MILLION on attack ads to defeat Val Demings – so can I count on you to give now and help us expand our Senate majority? 

This is a critical moment in her campaign, and I'm really counting on top Democrats like you to step up before her End of Quarter deadline at midnight tonight. Please, will you donate $5 – or whatever you can spare – to help Val Demings win in Florida and expand our Senate majority?

Thanks,

Chuck Schumer
Senate Majority Leader
