Friend: After two polls in a row showed me TIED with Marco Rubio in Florida's battleground Senate race, he spent $1.3 MILLION on attack ads that totally misrepresent who I am and everything that I stand for.

If I don't have the resources to fight back, Rubio's attacks could tip the scales in his favor and destroy Democrats' chances to expand our Senate majority. And time is running out before Election Day.

That's why this news is so exciting. A group of fired-up donors is MATCHING ALL DONATIONS up to my $250,000 goal to help me fight back and win. Will you please rush a donation of $5 and have it DOUBLED to flip Florida blue and expand our Democratic Senate majority?

Matches like this don't come along everyday, and with CNN reporting Florida is one of the seats most likely to flip blue, it's crucial that grassroots Democrats like you take advantage of this opportunity to make TWICE the impact on this race.

The clock is ticking, friend: There are only NINE WEEKS until Election Day, and Mitch McConnell and his allies are sitting on a war chest of $28 million they will pour into Florida to defeat me.

That's why I'm urging you to not miss this match opportunity. I cannot afford to fall short and miss this goal if we want to flip Florida blue and destroy the GOP's chances of flipping the Senate. 

Please, friend, if everybody reading this email donates $5 or more right now, it will DOUBLE our fundraising numbers within minutes. So donate $5 or whatever you can spare (every dollar will be matched!) to defeat Marco Rubio and expand our majority!

Thank you,

Val Demings
