Friend: Now that Marco Rubio is officially the GOP nominee for Senate here in Florida, I have just under five weeks left to defeat him – and I can't do it without you.

As the GOP puts its full weight behind Marco Rubio, I'm pushing as hard as I can – but I simply can't win this race if I don't have enough resources. That's why I'm respectfully asking:

Will you give $5 or more right now to help me defeat Marco Rubio? Every dollar you donate will go directly toward flipping Florida blue and protecting our Senate majority.

Help me take on Marco Rubio and protect our Senate Majority

Here's why your support today is so important: National Republicans are shoveling money into Marco Rubio's campaign, and he just spent a whopping $1.3 MILLION on TV ads to defeat me. After this massive GOP investment, I fell 1 point behind – though this race had been tied for weeks.

Political experts agree that if I win this race, Democrats are practically guaranteed to expand our Senate majority – but Florida is an expensive state to campaign in, and I can only push ahead in the polls if I have enough money to reach more voters immediately.

With reproductive freedom and voting rights on the line, it's not an option to lose this race and hand the Senate to Mitch McConnell.

That's why I cannot miss my midnight fundraising goal. I'm falling short without your immediate support – and there are just hours left to make up the difference.

This grassroots movement is powered by supporters like you, so I'm personally asking: Will you please donate $5 or more to help me push ahead in this race, defeat Marco Rubio and secure Democratic Senate control?
