John —

Each and every day, it is not lost on me that I'm in what will undoubtedly
be the most expensive race for the U.S. Senate in 2022 – a race that could
decide the Senate majority and will be anything but easy.

But I know a thing or two about persevering, and winning, even when the
odds are stacked against me. That’s why Adam Schiff asked me to reach out
once again.

So I have to ask: [ [link removed] ]If you’re ready to stand with me, and defeat Marco
Rubio in one of the closest Senate races in the entire country, please
chip in $5 now to our campaigns. If not, please keep reading, and I hope
to explain why this campaign is so important.

John, I've overcome plenty of adversity in my life. There is
nothing easy about growing up as a poor Black girl in the segregated
South. But my family's faith, and faith in opportunity, taught me
perseverance. It was my family, particularly my mother's words — "never
tire of doing good, Val” — that gave me the strength to get to where I am
today.

I carry the spirit of her words with me still – as I reflect on my career
of service to Floridians and my path to being a candidate for U.S. Senate.

There was nothing easy about being a first-generation college graduate –
nor was it easy working my way up the ranks of the Orlando Police
Department. For 27 years, I served when it wasn't exactly ordinary to see
a woman on the force, let alone a Black woman. But I never tired, and
eventually, I became the first woman to lead my department as chief of
police.

They called me “Chief Demings.” Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

And John, I know firsthand that there's nothing easy about
winning elections in Florida. My first run for Congress was one of my
toughest fights – and I never tired, because I knew I could do good for my
community. And it certainly wasn't easy to hold a lawless president – a
habitual offender – to account. But I served as an impeachment manager
along with Adam Schiff, prosecuting Donald Trump in the Senate, because no
one should be above the law.

My road to this moment, and this campaign was not easy. But I'm not sure
that there’s anywhere except America where a little Black girl – the
daughter of a maid and a janitor who grew up in the '60s South – could
have a story so filled with opportunities like these. And I am determined
to meet this moment, win and never tire of doing good so that anyone can
have a similar story of opportunity.

This may be my toughest challenge yet, which is why I'm urging you – every
last person reading this email – to chip in whatever you can to ensure I
have the resources to defeat Marco Rubio and win in Florida:

[ [link removed] ]Please, will you give $5 or more to help me flip Florida blue and help
Adam defend our slim Democratic majorities? Every dollar you give
increases our ability to compete and win this tough battleground race.
