Received this e-mail yesterday from U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D. IL) in support of Rep. Val Demings’ (D. FL-10) U.S. Senate campaign:
As we get closer to the 2022 midterm elections, it’s absolutely necessary that we focus not just on protecting our Democratic Majority in the Senate, but also expanding it.
That’s why we’re so excited to support Congresswoman Val Demings, who’s running against Marco Rubio in Florida.
Please, if you’re able, split a contribution between Val Demings’ campaign and Tammy Duckworth today. We’re asking for $5, but you can contribute any amount you can afford.
Val is a lifelong Floridian who has served in Congress since 2017. As an impeachment manager in 2020, she helped lead the charge to hold Donald Trump accountable for abuse of power and obstruction of justice.
Now, she’s ready to defeat Marco Rubio and help to keep the Senate blue.
But Republicans know how important this race is, too — so the Republican National Committee has pledged to invest at least $10 million in on-the-ground organizing to defeat Val. She really needs our help, Sam, so we have to ask:
Will you split a contribution between Val Demings’ campaign and Tammy Duckworth to help us expand Democrats’ Senate majority in 2022? Pitch in here.
Look, flipping this seat won’t be easy. But we know that, with the support of this grassroots team, we can flip Florida AND re-elect Tammy Duckworth.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for your support.
All our best,
Team Duckworth
