Hey, John — it’s Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards.

Right now, my friend Shawn Wilson is running in a high-stakes governor’s race to fill my seat, and I cannot emphasize this enough: We need Shawn to win this race.

Why? Because everything from healthcare access to crime reduction to the future of public education is on the ballot. And while we’ve made great progress during my time in office, the work goes on — we need a governor who will pick up the baton and continue our hard-earned progress.

Thankfully, Shawn has 25 years of experience as a public servant and knows how to bring people together to deliver big change for Louisianans. He’s the clear choice for voters — but I’ve been in his shoes twice before, and I know the challenges he’s facing in these final weeks of the campaign.

At this stage, Shawn needs an influx of grassroots support — your support, John — to beat the odds and come out on top in this election.

So here’s the deal: Shawn is up against a critical filing deadline. He needs to raise $25,000 in grassroots donations by Sunday night. Please, rush a $5 donation right now to help him secure victory and build a stronger Louisiana over the next 4 years.

Thank you,

Gov. John Bel Edwards
