Sorry for reaching out again, friend, but Election Day is right around the corner, and I need 53 more donors – including you – to give before midnight to reach my critical End of Month goal. 

With polls showing me in a dead heat with Marco Rubio, your single donation will make all the difference. Please rush $5 or more right now to help me reach my End of Month goal and defeat Marco Rubio.

I'm now the official Democratic nominee in the race that will decide which party wins Senate control. With just 9 days until the election, polling has me neck and neck with Marco Rubio, and The Washington Post says that I'm Democrats' best chance to flip a Senate seat blue.

The problem is that the GOP knows that defeating me is key to taking back the Senate. That's why national Republicans have been POURING MILLIONS into Marco Rubio's campaign, and why he pulled money from his fundraising war chest to launch $15.7 million worth of attack ads against me.

Florida's last Senate race was decided by less than 1 percentage point, which means every single TV ad, phone bank and door-knocking campaign will make a real difference. I can't afford to fall short of my End of Month goal – because that could mean letting Marco Rubio surge ahead and handing Senate control to the GOP. 

Please, friend, I'm on the cusp of overtaking Rubio and on a trajectory to win in Florida, but I can't expand our Senate majority if I miss this goal. Will you donate $5 right now to help me reach my End of Month goal and flip Florida blue? 

Thank you,

Chief Demings
