Marco Rubio is looking for a little help to expand his team’s get-out-the-vote efforts in South Carolina.
In an email to supporters Monday, the Florida Republican encouraged supporters to chip in $20 to help impact voter outreach in South Carolina. The donation, according to the email, would cover the cost of sending four bumper stickers to South Carolina voters — plus one for the person who donated.
“We are living in an incredible time and have been given a historic opportunity: a chance to re-write the wrongs done to our great nation by Barack Obama. The person we elect in November will hold our future in their hands,” the fundraising email reads. “The actions we take today will directly impact what happens this election. We cannot afford to be idle.”
In the email, Rubio says he is “forthright and consistent in my conservative views and priorities.” The email also tells supporters it is “critical that we make certain every South Carolina voter knows that.”
Rubio has spent much of the past week campaigning in South Carolina, in hopes of a strong finish in the Palmetto State’s primary. According to South Carolina polling averages compiled by RealClearPolitics, Rubio is in third place in South Carolina. He trails Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in the polling averages.
“Less than one week remains until voters in South Carolina hit the polls and make their 2016 decision. That means we have just days to ensure our campaign’s conservative message reaches and resonates with SC voters,” the email says. “Even if you do not live in SC, you can help our campaign and impact Saturday’s crucial results.”
The South Carolina Republican primary is Saturday.
