Friends, I know the number of emails you've been getting from me and my team is a lot. To be frank, fundraising is my least favorite part of this job. But the truth is, I wouldn't be here today if folks like you didn't chip in $5 or $10 at a time. That's why I've been asking for your help ahead of this crucial fundraising goal tonight.

I'm happy to report that, thanks to our generous supporters, we have a real chance to hit this goal. If we do, we'll have what it takes to fight harder than ever in the final days of this campaign. We'll show them that we can win, and then we'll do it. 

So, even though I hate to do it, I need to make another ask of you. We're still $7,389 short of our goal. Will you give $5 or more now – whatever you can spare – to help me hit this important goal, win reelection and keep Louisiana moving forward? Whatever you give will be matched by a generous group of donors.

Thank you. I truly couldn't do this without you.

Governor John Bel Edwards
