There's no easy way to say this, friend: I fell $34,918 short of my goal last night – and unless I get a serious grassroots surge in donations today, I'm going to be outspent by the GOP and fall further behind in the polls when it matters most.

That's why a generous group of donors is EXTENDING its offer to TRIPLE every donation I receive – but only until midnight tonight. Will you donate $5 (which will become $15!) now to help me close my fundraising gap and defeat Marco Rubio?

Experts are saying that this race will decide which party wins Senate control, so I can't afford to lose any ground to Marco Rubio. It's simply not an option to lose this race and hand the Senate over to Mitch McConnell while the GOP is trying to ban abortion nationwide and destroy our democracy.

National Republicans are pouring millions into Florida because they're scared of our incredible momentum. And after they helped Marco Rubio run $1.3 MILLION worth of TV ads, polling showed me falling behind Rubio by 1 point. We're just weeks away from Election Day, and I need to act immediately if I'm going to catch up.

That's why this triple-match offer for the next 24 hours is so important. Here's the bottom line: Donations have slowed over the past few days, and if grassroots donors like you don't step up now, I will fall behind in the final stretch of this close race.

Time is running out to triple your impact in Florida, so I'm asking you now: Will you please donate $5 (which will become $15!) to help me take the lead again, defeat Marco Rubio and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

Thanks for your support,

Val Demings
