CONGRESSMAN BOBBY JINDAL COMES TO FLORIDA
Louisiana gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal made a brief stop in St. Petersburg on Sept. 20, just one month before his election.

Charlie Crist.
Congressman Jindal is considered to be the front runner in the Louisiana governor's race. Now 36 and making his second bid for the governorship, Jindal is hoping voters see him more as a hard-working team player. To date, Jindal's overall campaign contributions total more than $10 million with $105,000 being raised at Desai's
fundraiser.
