“Bobby” Jindal (born June 10, 1971)[1] is an American politician and member of the Republican Party who serves as the 55th and current Governor of Louisiana and the Chairman of the Republican Governors Association.[2][3]

Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to immigrants from India, Jindal studied biology and public policy at Brown University from 1988 to 1991. After receiving his M.Litt in political science from New College, Oxford, he worked in McKinsey & Company and interned for Representative Jim McCrery of Louisiana. In 1996, Governor Murphy Foster appointed Jindal Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, and in 1999 he was appointed President of the University of Louisiana System. In 2001, Jindal was appointed as the principal adviser to the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services by President George W. Bush.

He first ran for Governor in 2003, winning a plurality in the open primary but losing in the runoff to Democrat Kathleen Blanco. He then won a seat in the United States House of Representatives in the 2004 elections. The second Indian American in Congress, he was re-elected in 2006. He ran for Governor again in 2007 and secured an outright majority in the first round of balloting. He was re-elected in a landslide in 2011. Politically conservative, Jindal opposes abortion, same-sex marriage and flag burning, while supporting gun rights, a border fence and teaching evolution with critiques that may include intelligent design. A Roman Catholic convert from Hinduism, Jindal has been married to Supriya Jolly since 1997, with whom he has three children.
