Friends – earlier today, my campaign set a goal of raising $7,000 before midnight. As of now, we're $2,610 short.

With the election in seven days, I can't say enough how important your support is right now. If we don't get 50% of the vote on Oct. 12, we'll move to a runoff election in November. If that happens, the GOP will consolidate behind one candidate and come down on us harder than ever.

There's not much time left, so I'm counting on this team to help me hit our goal before midnight. Friends, will you make a contribution of $5 or more – anything you can spare before midnight – to hit this goal, win reelection and keep Louisiana moving forward?

We've made so much progress here in Louisiana. There's even more we can achieve together. But first, we need to win on Oct. 12. Your grassroots support will help get us there. Thank you. 

Governor John Bel Edwards
