Upon assuming office, Edwards inherited a $2 billion deficit from his predecessor, Governor Bobby Jindal. As a result, stabilizing Louisiana's budget was a top priority for the Edwards Administration. Edwards prides himself upon reversing the economic downfall he inherited, as the state under his governorship achieved record-high GDP, record-high personal income, low unemployment, and one of the highest economic growth rates in the country.
Doing that in a state like LA is pretty impressive
