Friends – I need your help with an important finance deadline that's just two days away. My campaign set a goal to raise $40,000, but right now, we're still far from reaching that goal. 

This campaign's success depends on a strong fundraising total – to show our opponents that we mean business and to cross the finish line with a win. If we come up short – especially this close to Election Day – you can bet our opponents will double down. Any sign of weakness, and they'll pour even more resources into defeating me.

I take it very seriously that I'm a top target of national Republican groups this year. Losing this race means all the progress we've made for Louisiana will be at risk. I urgently need your help to raise $40,000 by Sept. 22 – when all statewide campaigns have to report their fundraising totals.

So I'm asking: Will you give $5 or more right now to help us meet this important deadline, propel this campaign forward and help me win reelection?

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

Governor John Bel Edwards
