Hi friend, it's David Hogg, and I wanted to give you a quick update on our fight to defeat gun-lobby puppet Marco Rubio. 

Thanks to your dedication to creating a future free of gun violence, we've already raised more than $500,000 for Val Demings' campaign! But we still have a long way to go if we're going to match the $3.3 MILLION Marco Rubio has taken from the gun lobby. 

I threw my full support behind Val Demings this year because I know that she'll be the agent for change that we need. She has a proven track record of advocating for commonsense gun violence prevention programs, and I know she will not turn her back on the survivors of gun violence – unlike Marco Rubio.

Friend, even after my high school in Parkland, Florida suffered from a horrific mass shooting, Marco Rubio continued to do the gun lobby's bidding – opposing commonsense gun violence prevention legislation, like the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Rubio does not care about Floridians, but Val Demings does.

And thanks to you, Demings has a real chance at winning this race. A recent poll has her tied with Marco Rubio – but time is running out for her to take the lead.

We need to raise a LOT more for Val Demings in the next 22 days, so I have to ask: Will you chip in $5 or more to Congresswoman Val Demings' campaign now so she can retire Marco Rubio and continue her fight for progress in the Senate?

Thank you. Because of you, I'm hopeful that we can put an end to this gun violence epidemic.
