I am coming to you with an urgent request, friend. After polling showed me TIED with Marco Rubio in our battleground race here in Florida, he blanketed Florida with millions of dollars worth of attack ads to defeat me.

This is what Floridians are seeing every time they turn on their TV as they begin early voting – and if I don't have the resources to fight back, it could destroy Democrats' chances of expanding our Senate majority. So my request to you is this:

If you believe in my campaign, will you donate before midnight tonight?

In these final days, I'm being outspent in key areas of Florida, and I cannot fight back without your support. So I'm humbly asking you to believe in our ability to take on Marco Rubio and the entire Republican establishment and win – because I cannot do this without you.

Florida's last Senate race came down to a mere 10,033 votes – that's the slimmest of margins (0.12%!) – meaning our chances of winning hinge on reaching and mobilizing every last Floridian we can. That's exactly why we need to hit tomorrow's $1,000,000 End of Month fundraising goal.

So please, rush $5 or whatever you can spare to help me hit tomorrow's critical End of Month goal, defeat Marco Rubio and expand our Democratic Senate majority.

Thank you,

Val Demings
