Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D. CA) in support of her colleague, U.S. Senator Bill Nelson’s (D. FL) re-election campaign:
Team -
In just a few moments, I am going to ask you to make a donation to the re-election campaign of my closest friend in Congress, Senator Bill Nelson.
I hope you’ll give me a moment to explain why this request is so important:
About an hour ago, Florida Governor Rick Scott declared he is running against Senator Nelson in the November election. Scott is a self-funding millionaire and one of President Trump’s closest allies. In fact, Trump practically begged him to run for Senate!
If Senator Nelson loses, which is a real possibility, a powerful voice on the issues we all care about would be gone; replaced with somebody who will essentially rubber-stamp the Trump agenda. Furthermore, there is absolutely no chance Democrats can take the U.S. Senate back without winning this race. Period. End of story.
I am asking you to rush an urgent donation of $3 to Senator Bill Nelson’s campaign to ensure he has the resources it’ll take to defeat Rick Scott. Chip in right now.
Rick Scott is going to spend millions to attack Senator Nelson — and Trump and the gun lobby will surely follow his lead.
Sitting on the sidelines is not an option in this race. The stakes are too high. We’re counting on you to step up today.
Thanks for all you do,
Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
