I've got to ask, friend: What would convince you to donate $5 to my campaign today?

I could tell you about the fact that Florida's last Senate race was decided by a narrow 0.12 points (just 10,033 votes), and ours is shaping up to be just as close.

Or that TWO recent polls showed me TIED with Marco Rubio after months of trailing, which proves that we have the momentum we need to win.

Or that in the hours that followed, the GOP began spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to attack me with TV ads that smear my name and reputation.

Or that I rely entirely on grassroots donations from people like you to fight back against the GOP's attacks – but right now, we're on track to fall short of our crucial fundraising goal.

Time is running out to close the gap before this critical deadline, friend, so please: Will you rush $5 or more now to help me reach tonight's fundraising goal, defeat Marco Rubio and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

Thank you for chipping in what you can. It makes all the difference.
