Friends,

Today marks the beginning of the final stretch of this election. I just submitted my paperwork to officially qualify for the October 12 election for governor.

This is it. From here on out, we need to do everything we can to win this election – because in these final two months, my opponents will spend huge amounts of money to defeat me. In fact, one of my opponents just reserved $2 million in advertising time to flood the airwaves with attack ads.

I'm determined to defend the progress we've achieved for Louisiana and to keep this state moving forward in my second term, but I can only do that if folks like you donate to help me win. That's how we won last time around, and it's how we can fight back against my opponents' attacks.

So in the wake of my opponent spending millions against me, we've set a rapid response goal to raise $10,000 before midnight tonight. With only a couple months to go and our state's progress on the line, can I count on you to step up and give? If so, please rush $5 or more now to help me win reelection and keep Louisiana moving forward!

Thank you, 

Governor John Bel Edwards
