LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC-TV) – Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said he intends to run for re-election to his post next year, despite many rumors that claim he would opt-out to prepare for a presidential campaign in 2012.
"I'm absolutely running for re-election," said Jindal, who made the comment after stopping by Chennault International Airport to visit with KPLC.
The governor is in the middle of an annual tour across the state, visiting every parish, touting his administration's jobs record and the importance of preparing Louisiana's children for the future.
Jindal has gotten used to the 2012 speculation, which has followed him ever since he was elected in 2007. For most of his term, Jindal has enjoyed high approval ratings, which recently climbed higher, thanks in large part to the public's positive perception of him following the BP Oil Spill.
