Last night’s gubernatorial debate saw fireworks between Governor John Bel Edwards and GOP challenger Eddie Rispone. Edwards fired back as Rispone said dangerous convicts were set free as a result of criminal justice reform.
Cut 6 (12) “…and fear-mongering.”
Rispone says criminal justice reform was a letdown for law enforcement and crime victims.
A My People Vote poll gives Edwards just over 50 percent support, while Eddie Rispone is right behind him at 47 percent. The margin of error is 3.6 percent, and political analyst Ed Chervenak says the results show a nearly dead-even race heading into the final two weeks…
Cut 10 (09) “slightly.”
The other poll Chervenak mentioned, by JMC Analytics, puts the race at 48 percenter to 46 percent in favor of Edwards.
President Trump will be in Monroe Wednesday, November sixth to support GOP gubernatorial candidate Eddie Rispone. The rally will begin at 7 PM at the Monroe Civic Center.

Monroe is in the 5th Congressional district, which is represented by Congressman Ralph Abraham. Abraham will be in attendance.
A cold front has passed through and Canadian air has dramatically dropped temperatures compared to yesterday. State Climatologist Barry Keim says this is the beginning of a cold stretch of days.
