This isn't good, friend.
 

Marco Rubio recently spent $1.3 MILLION on attack ads to defeat me – and I'm falling $10,582 short of my midnight fundraising goal. This is the worst possible moment to fall short – but I still have a few hours left to make up the difference before my deadline.

So I asked my team to pull a list of my top supporters. Your name was at the top of the list, friend. 

Friend, I'm closing in on Marco Rubio in the polls – and veteran campaign strategist James Carville has "ZERO DOUBT" that I can win! Here's the issue: Super PACs are targeting me with attack ads because they know that Democrats WILL keep Senate control if I win this race.

The bottom line is this: If I don't close my $10,582 fundraising gap before midnight, my team will be forced to make difficult decisions about where we can compete.

I just launched another round of TV ads – which means money constantly going out the door – so I cannot keep my ads on the air and defend myself against the GOP's attacks without your support. 

Every dollar and moment on TV count in a race this close, so please: Will you give $5 – or whatever you can spare before midnight – to help me reach my midnight goal, mobilize more voters and surge ahead in the race that will determine if we keep our Democratic Senate majority?

Thanks for stepping up, 

Val Demings
