It's a gerrymandered state, where Republicans rely on voter suppression to maintain their chokehold on state politics. I'll explain more in a moment, but with the tides turning against the GOP, I know our movement has what it takes to win this race ... as long as I keep up with Rick Scott's massive fortune. Doing that means I can't afford to miss this weekend's $5 million goal ahead of my end-of-month deadline, so please: [Will you chip in anything before midnight to help me flip Florida blue?]( [Contribute]( Over these past few months, I've spent just about every spare minute meeting even more voters as I travel up and down our beautiful state — and trust me, the majority of Florida voters don't support Rick Scott's far-right agenda. They DON'T believe in stripping people of their reproductive rights. They DON'T want to see their taxes go up while the top 1% gets a tax cut. They DON'T want to lose their Medicare and Social Security benefits. And they DON'T want leaders who sow division and scapegoat others to stay in power. But the Florida GOP has spent years gerrymandering our state to ensure that they hold on to power in Tallahassee, while totally ignoring what the majority of Floridians actually want. They convince us that our blue votes don't matter, to keep poll turnout low and voter disillusionment high. And then, the extremists who've gerrymandered their way into office pass more voter suppression bills, making it even harder for voters to cast their ballots with each election year. Why? Because Florida is NOT a red state. Now, {NAME}, I need your help to prove it. [So before my midnight deadline, will you please chip in $5 or anything you can to help me build a winning grassroots campaign? Together, I know we can inspire Floridians to fight for better, break down the barriers keeping voters from the ballot box, retire Rick Scott, and flip this seat blue.]( Please use the links in this email to start a weekly donation through ActBlue.
