My friend, Mayor Boome

  Friends -- This pandemic has presented us with so many challenges, and more than ever, it’s important that we have the strongest leaders guiding us. My friend, Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome, has been that leader. Since she took office in 2016, she led East Baton Rouge Parish thr…

Friends,   We had an incredible victory last month.  So many of you stepped up to knock on donors, donate, and get people to the polls. Now, the Governor and First Lady want to show their thanks to you.    We traveled all across this state during the campaign, and you were right …

Friends -- We're almost out of time. Voters will be heading to the polls in a matter of hours and we're coming up short on our final push fundraising goal. We're still $8,725 away and we only have a few hours left.  Tomorrow's runoff is going to be very close and we're fighting for each…

Friends, this is our last fundraising goal of the election

Friends -- The big special interests and national Republican groups think they can swing this election at the last minute to put Eddie Rispone over the top. With the polls showing this race as a dead heat, we can't let up now.  You know how high the stakes are, friend. Years of hard-fou…

One day left

Friends, this is the final day of this campaign. In less than 24 hours, voters will head to the polls to decide this election.  We've fought a tough race. The last time I ran, we were a long shot. A lot of people didn't think we had a chance. This time we've had a record to run on…

  Friends -- In a little more than 48 hours, this campaign will be over. Voters will have cast their ballots and shortly after that we'll start seeing the returns come in.   Right now, the polls show we have a narrow lead -- but outside money is flooding into the race in these final 48 …

Even more outside money is flooding into our race (fight back now)

Friends -- As we enter the final days of this campaign, national Republicans are getting worried. We've just learned that the Republican National Committee is pumping another $1 million into Louisiana to try and boost Eddie Rispone. With an election as close as this, we can't let this go u…

Against the odds

With only two days left in the campaign, I'm reflecting on my first race for governor, when most people thought I didn't stand a chance. We proved them wrong, against all odds, by sticking to a simple promise: to put Louisiana first. Friends, this race is different from 2015. In m…

toss-up

  Friends -- With only three days to go until the runoff, this race is a toss-up. Recent polls have showed the Governor with a razor-thin lead, but Eddie Rispone and his friends have only been escalating their attacks to try and make up the ground.   With the margin this narrow, we need…

We're falling short and may need to take down our response ads

  Friends -- We've been checking the numbers since this morning, and we're still far short of where we need to be to keep our response ads on the air. With the attacks against the Governor escalating, this is very bad news. We're still more than $5,100 short of our grassroots fundraising …
