Friends – Earlier this week, my campaign set a goal of recruiting 1,000 new Founding Members by midnight tonight. As of this afternoon, we're still about 191 donations short. 

I can't emphasize enough how crucial a core network of Founding Members will be. My opponents are gearing up to defeat me at all costs, and I'll need the support of folks like you to fight back and win in October.  

We have just hours left to hit this goal, and I'm counting on your contribution right now: Friends, will you make a contribution of $5 or more – whatever you can spare – to become a Founding Member so we can win in October and keep Louisiana moving forward?

With the grassroots support of people like you, we'll win this reelection campaign and keep making progress for Louisiana. Thank you.

Gov. John Bel Edwards
