Team –

Last night I stepped off the stage after my one and only debate against Marco Rubio, and I wanted to take a minute to say thank you.

Thank you for dreaming of a better America with me: an America where reproductive rights are protected, voting rights are expanded and gun violence is prevented.

Thank you for believing that a poor Black girl from the South can grow up to run in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country.

Thank you for helping us build the strongest Senate campaign that Florida has ever seen – a movement made up of over 650,000 grassroots supporters who believe, like you do, that it’s time to retire Rubio and give Florida the representation it needs.

Running for Senate has been the honor of a lifetime, and tonight, I hope I made you proud. But this race isn’t over yet.

With just five days until Floridians start voting, and with polls showing this race tied, we need all hands on deck.

What we do right now will affect the outcome of this race. That’s why I’m reaching out: Please, will you make your first contribution to my campaign today? I’m being outspent in critical areas of Florida in these final weeks, and I need your help if we’re going to win and expand our Senate majority.

Thank you for your support. Let’s win this.
