Jindal plans to announce run for President on June 24

According to articles across the nation, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will announce his candidacy for President of the United States at the end of this month. Jindal is currently serving his second term as governor and has served in the US Congress. 

According to reports from Jindal representatives today, the announcement is expected to be made June 24 in New Orleans. Jindal hopes to become the Republican candidate in the national race. 

Jindal is the 43 year old son of immigrants and is viewed as one of the longshot bids for the Republican candidacy. In the most recent poll by the Washington Post-ABC NEWS, Jindal had support from less than 1 percent of likely Republican voters of 15 potential candidates. 

Jindal and members of the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives are currently in regular session, which is scheduled to end in mid June. Jindal will then have the extra time to focus on his presidential run.
