Friend – Did you see the debate Tuesday?! I was so proud to watch Val Demings totally crush Marco Rubio.

I've known for years that guy is spineless. When my daughter Jaime was brutally murdered at her high school in Parkland, I begged Marco Rubio to take immediate action on gun violence prevention – but instead, he blocked lifesaving legislation on multiple occasions.

Since my daughter's death, it's been my personal mission to defeat gun lobby puppets like Marco Rubio – and after that debate, undecided voters are sure to turn on him. But with a poll showing Val Demings 1 point behind, she needs more than airtime to surge ahead – she needs resources.

That's why I'm stepping up to help Val Demings raise $250,000 before midnight tonight. I can't bring my daughter back, but I can fight like hell to elect politicians that will do whatever possible to end the gun violence epidemic, so I'm asking you:

Friend, will you please rush $5 now to help Val Demings reach her goal before her deadline at midnight? Every dollar will help her surge ahead in this race and finally pass lifesaving gun violence prevention measures.

Political experts have said that Val Demings' race in Florida is our best chance to expand our Democratic Senate majority, abolish the filibuster and pass lifesaving gun violence prevention measures. And since this race is neck and neck, she desperately needs more funding to compete with the more than $3.3 million Marco Rubio has taken from the gun lobby.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the future of gun violence prevention in our country hinges on this key Senate race, so it's absolutely critical that Val Demings reaches her $250,000 goal before her deadline tonight at midnight: Will you PLEASE donate $5 – or whatever you can spare before midnight – to help Val Demings surge ahead of Marco Rubio, expand our majority in the Senate and save lives from gun violence?

Thank you for being part of this grassroots movement. Together, we can send Marco Rubio packing this November.
