I really need your help, friend: We have until 12 p.m. TODAY to raise the $45,764 we need to pay for our final TV ads of the campaign, and we're falling short.

If we win in Florida, Democrats are virtually guaranteed to keep control of the Senate – but five recent polls show me TIED with Rubio. The only way I can take the lead is if we hit this deadline and get our final TV ads live before Election Day.

Marco Rubio has spent $15.7 MILLION on TV ads this year alone – and he's outspending me in key areas of Florida. Rubio knows that blanketing Florida's airwaves with ads is his only chance to stop me. But with Senate control on the line, we simply cannot defeat him if we miss this goal.

I'm really counting on your help, friend: Please, rush $5 or more right now – whatever you can spare before our 12 p.m. deadline – and have it DOUBLED to get my final TV ads of the campaign live so we can flip Florida blue and protect our Senate majority!

I can't tell you how much your support means in these final days. Thank you, friend.
