Eddie Rispone filed state paperwork with the ethics administration office declaring his candidacy for the 2019 election.
"I am definitely running. This is it," Rispone said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Asked why he's opposing Edwards, the first-time candidate said: "I think we can do better. I know we can do better."

Founder of an industrial contracting company, Rispone is a longtime donor to GOP and conservative campaigns and causes. The wealthy businessman said he plans to invest his own money in what is expected to be an expensive governor's race.
Edwards, seeking his second term in office, reported $5 million in his campaign account earlier this year. Rispone said he's ready to invest a similar amount of his own money in the race and will start fundraising immediately.
"I'm going to put in quite a bit. I've set aside $5 million to get started. We think it's going to cost somewhere between $8 million and $10 million," Rispone said. "I'll start reaching out to my friends around the state raising money."

It's going to take a lot of money to compete with the Left in 2019. The Dems have a boat load money outside the state coming in.

if anyone wants to do something about the ridiculous auto insurance in this state, its got to start with getting Edwards out.

One of a handful of people that I know could do good things for Louisiana. More importantly, he's not doing this because of any ambition other than to help his state.
We need more true business leaders to run for executive brand roles in government.

lol JBE has nothing to do with the insurance rates.
blame the retards who drive without insurance and then hit people and the dickhead personal injury lawyers who sue everyone who is at fault in an accident under any circumstances

I know nothing about this guy, but I find the quoted statement hard to believe about any politician.
There's just too much power and money involved.

You ever watch LivePD? Half the people pulled over don’t have a drivers license, insurance or legal registration. Get these people off the roads and the rates might go down.
