Politico: Bobby Jindal to announce presidential plans June 24

By Kate Glueck, June 3, 2015, Politico

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is expected to announce his presidential intentions on June 24, according to a top adviser.

Jindal, a Republican, is slated to announce his decision in New Orleans, said Timmy Teepell, who has served as chief of staff and is a possible campaign manager for Jindal’s likely bid.

The two-term governor, a former congressman who is considered a long-shot contender for the GOP nomination, has faced a spate of negative headlines in recent months about his state’s budget problems. But with Louisiana’s legislative session scheduled to end in June, Jindal will be freed up to hit the campaign trail more frequently and his positioning as an unapologetic cultural conservative could gain him an audience in early states like Iowa where the Republican base is more socially conservative.
