At Elect Democratic Women we know that Congress cannot and will not address the urgent needs of women and their families without equal representation. We support Democratic women running for office nationwide. But if you'd like to receive fewer emails, [Click Here.]( Or if you'd like to unsubscribe, [Click Here.]( [A message from Rep. Val Demings]( {NAME}, Like all of you, I am shocked, horrified, and deeply saddened by the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. As a former law enforcement officer and Orlando Police Chief, I’ve witnessed firsthand the devastation of gun violence in our communities. [This has to stop.]( But it won't stop until politicians in Washington stand up to the gun lobby to pass critical legislation to: [- Ban assault weapons, - Pass a federal red flag law, - Require background checks, - Close the Charleston loophole, - Confirm President Biden's nominee to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, - And center the safety of our communities in every piece of legislation we pass.]( [And many politicians never will – especially my opponent, Marco Rubio, who has taken over $3 million from the gun lobby.]( Unlike my spineless opponent, I will put Floridians before the gun lobby. [That's why I'm reaching out to you today, {NAME}. We can only defeat gun lobby-loving Republicans like Marco Rubio if we have the resources we need. We're just 4 hours away from my critical end-of-month fundraising deadline. {NAME}, can you split $5 between my campaign and Elect Democratic Women before midnight? →]( [$5 >>]( [$25 >>]( [$50 >>]( [$100 >>]( [$250 >>]( [Other >>]( It’s been 6 years since my own town was rocked by senseless gun violence. The Pulse nightclub shooting forever changed the city of Orlando. [And yet Marco Rubio, bought and sold by the gun lobby, still has not taken a single step to reduce gun violence.]( Marco Rubio and 49 other Republican Senators are blocking Congress from taking meaningful action on gun safety. [That's why flipping this seat is so important.]( By sending me to Washington, we can finally end the filibuster and pass critical bills to ban assault weapons, require background checks, and so much more. [If we defeat Marco Rubio, we'll have a fighting chance to finally make a change.]( {NAME}, I want to show the gun lobby that we’ll kick each and every one of their puppets out of the Senate to protect our communities once and for all. [So I’m humbly asking: can you split $5 between my campaign and Elect Democratic Women so that we can elect leaders who will make our communities safer from gun violence? →]( [CHIP IN $5 NOW >>]( [CHIP IN $25 NOW >>]( [CHIP IN $50 NOW >>]( [CHIP IN $100 NOW >>]( [CHIP IN $250 NOW >>]( [Or donate another amount  >>]( We cannot lose hope, Rep.
