Baton Rouge residents may notice a white Chevy pick-up truck with a unique license plate driving around the Capitol area in the near future with a recognizable driver behind the wheel. 

Its a truck Governor John Bel Edwards has owned for many years.

Images show the Governor bursting with pride on Sunday while driving his classic whip.

“Leaving church today, John Bel asked me to go for a Sunday afternoon ride in his truck. Sometimes people ask me to describe my husband and I can’t find the words. Today, it was easy – confident, witty, grounded in who he is, a man of strong faith, and lover of all things Louisiana.” First Lady Donna Edwards said. 

On the ride, the Governor and First Lady stopped to visit Ernest Gaines, the Louisiana author of “A Lesson Before Dying.” 

“It was such an honor to visit with this award-winning author and his wife today. We brought them a little cabbage and broccoli from our garden as well.” Donna Edwards said.
