Next week’s Florida special election

[bot]

You’re going to start hearing a lot about next week’s Florida special election.

Here are 5 reasons why:

1. It’s a special election!
Instead of waiting until November, we can pick off a Republican seat right now. The election is in just 7 days.




2. It’s a dead heat.
The latest polls show that this is a 2-point race. It doesn’t get much closer than that.

3. A devastating defeat for Boehner?
The Republicans have held this seat for 58 years. Boehner’ll have a tough time explaining how the Republicans could lose a seat like that.




4. Both sides really want to win.
In fact, this will be the most expensive House special election in American history.

5. Big issues are at stake




So to recap: the election’s next week. It’s close. Both sides want to win. A lot’s at stake.

If we win, it will be because of the work we do together in these final seven days. That means we need all hands on deck -- especially if you’re NOT on the ground in Florida. There are two things you can do right now:
1. We’re facing our final ad buy deadline in just a few days. Can you chip in $3 or more to win toss-up races like this?
2. Can’t donate? No problem. Join Democrats across the country in our online phonebank. Together, we’ll make thousands of calls to the Florida voters we need to get out to the polls if we’re going to win. Don’t worry, it’s easy. All you need is a phone and a computer.
