John, I wanted to take a moment to personally say thank you.

Thank you for dreaming of a better Senate with me – one that works for the people, not just for the corporate elites.

Thank you for fighting by my side every step of the way in this race – through all the victories and setbacks.

Thank you for helping me give Marco Rubio the toughest fight of his career.

And now I'll be up-front about where we stand: I'm 1 point down in recent polls, and once again I'm counting on this powerful grassroots team to help with the resources I need to surge ahead in these final weeks.

So I have to ask: Will you split $3 or more between my campaign and UniteDemocrats right now to help me defeat Marco Rubio and defend our Democratic Senate majority? »

Thank you for all that you've done for this campaign, John. Only in America can a poor Black girl from the South grow up to run one of the most competitive Senate races in the country, so thank you for being a part of this historic moment with me.

Val Demings
