My Finance Director told me this morning that I'm WAY behind on my Final FEC End of Quarter goal. We're running out of time to reach that goal, and I'm worried we have to make some tough decisions about our budget to mobilize voters and fight back against Rubio's deceitful attack ads. 

Does this worry me, friend? Absolutely. TV ads are expensive – especially in Florida – but I must counter Marco Rubio's lies about my law enforcement service. These ads take up a large part of my budget, but they’re necessary if we want to flip Florida blue. 

If donations continue to slow, I simply will not have enough resources to stay on the air. And with just over a month until Election Day, huge budget cuts could cost us this race and our opportunity to expand our Senate majority.

Every dollar I don't raise means fewer and fewer voters I can contact, which is why a generous group of donors has agreed to match all donations, so I have to ask: Will you please donate $5 (which will become $10) to help me close my massive fundraising gap before our End of Quarter deadline? Here's the best link to contribute: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/vd_senate-fr-email-septembermatch

Thanks for stepping up when it matters most. I really appreciate your support.
