Hi, John – look, I recognize it's a Saturday evening and you've heard from me a lot lately. But with less than 2 weeks until Election Day, I’m relying on this grassroots team to help me reach my ambitious $30,000 midnight fundraising goal.

It's more crucial now than ever that we show the full strength of our campaign, but I'm still coming up $30,000 short of what I need to raise. With polling showing me down just 1 point to Marco Rubio – and our Senate majority on the line – I cannot miss tonight's important goal.

I hope you'll forgive me for being so blunt, but it's because I believe you care deeply about the state of our race and the fate of our Democratic majority.

So if you can spare a donation of $10 or whatever you can chip in right now to split between my campaign and The Majority Rules, I'd appreciate it. Every last dollar will go toward our battleground race to flip Florida blue and expand our Senate majority!

Thank you,

Val Demings
