Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) announced his bid for the presidency today through a press release on his website. "My name is Bobby Jindal, and I am running for President of the United States of America," the announcement read.[1] The post included videos filming his family's reaction to the news.
Jindal is the governor of Louisiana. He was first elected in 2007 and was re-elected to the position on October 22, 2011. He previously served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Louisiana's 1st Congressional District from 2004 to 2008.
