I want you to remember this:

I want you to remember these numbers: $3.3 million. That's how much Marco Rubio has taken from the gun lobby to stay in Congress, even after 14 students and three staff members were massacred at my high school in Parkland, Florida – the deadliest high school shooting in American history. $1.05. That's how much money per Florida high school student that Marco Rubio has taken from the gun lobby. That's the price of student lives for Rubio, as he continues to block any progress on gun safety reform. $100,000. That's how much I'm helping Val Demings raise by midnight tonight so she has the resources to defeat Marco Rubio and become Florida's next U.S. senator. It's an ambitious goal – but that's what it takes to beat a candidate backed by the gun lobby and elect a champion for gun safety. [Please, will you join me in supporting Val Demings by chipping in $5 or whatever you can spare to hit this goal?]( While Marco Rubio has spent his career cozying up to the gun lobby, Val Demings has seen the horrors of gun violence up close. As a police officer and chief, she stood with families at scenes where mothers, fathers, sons, daughters – too many cherished loved ones – were killed by a gun. That's why she passed legislation to end gun violence and save lives when she got to Congress. And now, Val Demings is running for Senate in a race that's a top pickup opportunity for Democrats. She's our best chance to expand our Senate majority, abolish the filibuster and finally pass lifesaving gun safety legislation – like universal background checks and a ban on high-capacity magazines. But with Rubio backed by millions of dollars from the gun lobby, winning this race isn't going to be easy. It's going to take a huge push of resources from grassroots supporters like us who think enough is enough. With recent polling showing her 1 POINT behind Marco Rubio, I need all hands on deck to give her an edge in this close race. [So please, chip in to help me raise $100,000 for Val Demings before midnight tonight. Every dollar you give will help defeat Marco Rubio, flip Florida blue and fight back against the gun lobby.]( Thank you, David Hogg Gun Safety Advocate Our grassroots campaign is off to a great start, but in a race as close as this one, I need your help to surge ahead and defend the Senate.
