Hey John,

Earlier this week I shared my story: Who I am, what I accomplished as Transportation Secretary, and why I jumped into this race to be Louisiana’s next Governor. I’m forwarding it below in case you missed it, but I also have a quick favor to ask you.

As mentioned in my previous email, my campaign has a critical fundraising deadline today, and we’re now just $2,755 short of our mid-month fundraising goal for July. But we only have a few hours left to hit it — something we can’t do without our supporters stepping up at this critical moment.

Since we rely on grassroots donations to power our campaign, we can’t afford to fall short! Please, take a moment to read my story below, then chip in $5 to help hit our critical mid-month fundraising goal before tonight’s deadline.

Thank you, John. With your help, we’ll continue building an election-winning campaign that will propel Louisiana forward.

John, some of you know me very well, and some of you are just getting to know me better as a Democrat running for Governor of Louisiana. I am grateful you’re here and taking the time to read my message.

My name is Shawn Wilson. I’m a father, grandfather, husband of 28 years, lifelong Democrat, and public servant.

That’s me with my wife and partner of 28 years, Rocki.

I’ve spent the last 25 years in state government, having been appointed or served in an executive role for three Governors and one Lieutenant Governor. Seven years ago, I was appointed Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.

When I was appointed to that role, Louisiana was facing record budget deficits and a slumping economy. The department was short on funds and hadn’t broken ground on many of the big infrastructure projects that we’ve needed for decades. So, we got to work bringing local, state, and federal leaders together in collaboration with business owners, farmers, and neighborhood associations. Together, we got things done and created the largest infrastructure investment in our state’s history.

The bottom line is this: I know and love Louisiana, and I have spent my career working to make our state better.

Now more than ever, we need leaders who will build bridges, not burn them. That’s the kind of Governor I promise to be, but I need your help to get there. Please, will you join me in this fight with your first contribution before Saturday’s critical mid-month deadline?
