Friend, Congresswoman Val Demings doesn't spend her time asking corporate elites to donate to her campaign for Florida's Senate seat.

Instead, she focuses on serving her community – just as she's done for the last three decades as a social worker and a law enforcement officer. From traveling to every corner of Florida to meet face-to-face with working Floridians to fighting tirelessly for progress in Congress, everything that Val Demings has done has been for her community.

But, friend, to be honest, fighting for the rights of every last family in Florida doesn't leave Val with a whole lot of time for fundraising – and that's where you come in.

This campaign for U.S. Senate (for one of the most expensive Senate races in Florida HISTORY) is entirely funded by $10, $25 or $50 donations from people like you who really, truly believe in Val Demings.

And better yet, these small grassroots donations have not only shattered fundraising records and put us on the verge of flipping Florida blue – they've also allowed Val Demings to spend more time fighting for Floridians.

But this careful balance only works if grassroots donors like you continue to give a few dollars to emails like this, so we have to ask you, friend: Will you donate $5 before our midnight deadline to give Val Demings the resources she needs to finally close the 1-point gap in the polls and defeat Marco Rubio?

Thank you for being on this team, friend. It's because of your support that this Senate race has become competitive.

Team Demings
