Listen up, {NAME}!

[Val Demings]( Listen up, {NAME}! Congresswoman Val Demings is down 2 points in her race to defeat Marco Rubio. It's one of the hottest Senate races in the country – and I have zero doubt in my mind that Val Demings can win this. But Val Demings can ONLY win if activists like YOU dig deep and support her every step of the way. So here's what I'm dropping in to tell you: Flipping Florida blue can decide our Democratic Senate majority. And CNN is calling Florida's Senate seat one of the most likely to flip in 2022 – but Florida's last Senate race was decided by just 0.12 percent (that's only 10,033 votes). That’s why moments like this can make or break a campaign. Especially when up against a right-wing incumbent like Marco Rubio, who is already sitting on a multi-million-dollar war chest and has the full GOP establishment behind him. So I committed to helping Val Demings raise $35,000 before her Friday night deadline, and I'm counting on your contribution to get us there, {NAME}: [Will you split a donation between this campaign and Defeat Republicans to help Val Demings defeat Marco Rubio, flip Florida blue and expand our Democratic Senate majority?]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately by clicking a button below.

I've seen what it takes to win, and I've seen what happens when campaigns fail to muster enough grassroots momentum. I'm told Val Demings has one of the strongest grassroots teams in Democratic politics – and trust me, I was relieved to hear it. Because you know what we're up against, {NAME}? Marco Rubio's campaign war chest. Mitch McConnell's super PAC that can spend near limitless sums of money. And you'd better believe Donald Trump – who has made Florida the de facto HQ for the GOP – will rally his base and spend millions to protect his crony Rubio. That's why we need Val Demings. She's gone toe-to-toe with some of the most extreme Republicans. She impeached Donald Trump and prosecuted him in the Senate. She's a fighter for Floridians, and she has everything it takes to win. Best of all, there's momentum behind her in this race. But ending this month with a fundraising shortfall will put her dangerously behind where she needs to be. [So if you truly want Val Demings in the Senate, if you truly want to flip Florida blue and oust Marco Rubio, then I need you to give, because she can't cede any ground: Split a contribution of $20 or more now – every dollar you can spare before our Friday deadline – to elect Val Demings and defend Democrats' Senate majority.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately by clicking a button below.
