Hey there, friend — it's Robert, Debbie's husband. Do you have a second? I wanted to touch base because we're four days out from Debbie's biggest deadline to date.

She just told me that at the current rate that gifts are coming in, it won't be enough to close the gap to her goal in time. To be blunt, Debbie is really concerned that falling short now will give Rick Scott the momentum he needs to solidify his advantage — and stay in power for another six years.

I'm proud to hold the title of Debbie's #1 Fan. But all the encouragement I can give her won't be enough to keep her on track to hit her $700,000 end-of-quarter goal by Sunday night. She needs the support of people like you, too — so I've got to ask: Will you please chip in anything you can to help Debbie make Rick Scott retire and flip Florida blue?

After almost 21 years of marriage, I can safely say that Debbie is the most loving, caring, and passionate person I know. But that's not the only reason I'm pulling for her to be Florida's next senator — let me list a few more:

1. She’s got a heart of gold, but trust me: Debbie also has a backbone of steel. Having already flipped a U.S. House seat blue, she never backs down from a tough fight when it comes to serving her community. And I'm so proud that she's instilled that strength into our kids, too.

2. Narcissistic, out-of-touch extremists like Rick Scott have failed Florida for too long, and I'm sick of it. He's spent his career attacking the American dream that brought my wife here, as well as the freedoms, financial security, and safety that our kids deserve — all for the benefit of ultra-wealthy fraudsters like himself. As Debbie likes to say — ya no más.

3. Despite being Florida's former governor and having the incumbent advantage, Scott's approval ratings are sinking like a lead balloon. Political experts report he's a top vulnerable target to beat, and now, he and Debbie are statistically tied in the polls!

But to beat Scott's almost bottomless well of campaign cash, Debbie needs your support more than ever — so please, friend, will you join me in the fight to stop Scott by chipping in before Sunday's critical end-of-quarter deadline? Together, we'll show the world that Florida is ready for change.

Thank you for supporting the love of my life in this critical fight,

Robert Powell
(Debbie's Husband)
