“I’m running for governor, and I intend to win,” Abraham said in a brief statement, while announcing he’ll have an official campaign launch early 2019.
Abraham, a family medicine doctor from rural northeast Louisiana, joins Baton Rouge businessman Eddie Rispone as the Republican candidates looking to win the Governors seat.
