John – You're a key part of this movement, so I wanted to make sure you heard the good news:

For months, polls have shown me behind Marco Rubio – but just ahead of my primary on Tuesday, TWO new polls showed us TIED, 46-46! I never could have made this incredible progress without supporters like you, John.

Here's the problem: Marco Rubio and Mitch McConnell just spent $500,000 on TV ads in key areas of Florida to take back the lead. With my primary election happening tomorrow, there's no doubt national Republican PACs will pour even more money into attack ads against me when they see these polls.

I clearly have momentum on my side – but with the GOP running ads that misrepresent me and everything I stand for, I need to make serious investments in voter outreach immediately before my primary on Tuesday.

I need to raise $150,000 before my primary election tomorrow to counter GOP attacks. It's the ONLY way to take the lead in what's shaping up to be the most expensive Senate race in the country – so I'm really counting on you to give.

I can't flip Florida blue and protect our Democratic Senate majority without your support, so I'm respectfully asking: If you believe in this campaign and have $3 to give, will you PLEASE contribute today to split between my campaign and UniteDemocrats? »

Thank you so much for believing in me and this campaign. Together, we're showing the naysayers that we have the power to blow the GOP out of the water on Election Day.
