The Governor said that he intends to focus on early childhood education, workforce development and coastal restoration over the next four years.

For people like Danielle Rowland, being here was a priorty.

"I was here four years ago for his first one," Rowland said. "I've been a supporter of Mr. Edwards for a number of years and as a citizen of Louisiana, I thought it was important to be here."

After the ceremony, Governor Edwards joined hundreds of fellow LSU Tiger fans at the National Championship game in the New Orleans Superdome.
