I'm sorry to crowd your inbox, friend, but I wouldn't bump my last message if it weren't critical to defeating Marco Rubio.
My finance team tells me that even after a small surge in grassroots donations to my campaign over the last few hours, I'm still roughly $9,000 away from my goal – and at this pace, I may need to make budget cuts if I fall short.
While national Republicans are funneling upwards of $10 million into this race to flip Florida red permanently, I simply cannot afford to cut back on resources. I’m running out of time to fix this, so I’m humbly asking you to act quickly:
Please, split $5, $10 or whatever you can spare between me and March On PAC to close my fundraising gap before tonight's 11:59 p.m. deadline. Every dollar will help this people-powered team defeat Marco Rubio, flip Florida blue and expand our Senate majority.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Friend, I am hours away from my midnight fundraising deadline, and I’m still $14,907 short of my can’t-miss goal. My race in Florida is most likely to determine Senate control, so I cannot fall behind on resources. Please, take a look at your supporter record:

The timing – and the sheer consequences – of falling short right now couldn't be more serious. I don’t say that lightly. Recent polls have me down a few points to Marco Rubio, just as recent reports show he and the GOP have hauled in $208 million to dismantle our Senate majority.
If I don't have the resources to narrow this polling gap, we could hand Senate control straight back to Mitch McConnell.
With a grassroots team this strong, I know that if we dig deep, we will flip Florida blue. Point-blank, friend: That means hitting my July fundraising goal before the month is up. It's truly the only path we have to fighting back against GOP megadonors.
I urgently need you to help me make up this shortfall before midnight. Split a contribution of $22 or more now between my campaign and March On PAC to defeat Marco Rubio and protect our Democratic Senate majority from Mitch McConnell!
Thank you,
Val Demings
