Abraham Holding onto Lead

9/27/2019-- 9:11 AM CDT

BATON ROUGE, La - Against all odds, Ralph Abraham continues to hold a lead over his Republican challenger after having a combined $20 MILLION spent against him compared to only $2 MILLION that he's spent.

While the race for second has tightened, the most glaring and direct affect of the Rispone attack ad is the rise of John Bel Edwards in the polls.

"The Governor and my Republican challenger have spent a fortune on TV lying to the people of this state about my record and my character, and we're still standing", said Ralph Abraham. "I'm not going to resort to those tactics. The people of this state deserve better than that. Republicans must unite to defeat this governor, and I'm going to lead by example."

POLL RESULTS:
