Friends – we have what it takes to win on Saturday, but I truly believe it all comes down to what happens in the next 48 hours.

You see, my opponents have millions of dollars on their side. They're turning out voters, running major attack ads and even flying in national Republicans – all in an effort to defeat me.

We can't let up for a single minute. All the progress we've made for Louisiana – expanding health care, investing in education, criminal justice reform – it's all on the line. So we've set a goal to raise $20,000 before midnight on Friday, but we're still $12,780 short.

In these final hours, every dollar is crucial. Our campaign is in overdrive mode to win this thing, and I'm really counting on your help: Please rush $5 or more now to help us hit this $20,000 goal by tomorrow, win the election and keep Louisiana moving forward.

Thank you,

Governor John Bel Edwards
