| Description | Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal kicked off his bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination with an anti-Washington message calling for the GOP to present a staunchly conservative alternative to Democrats.
In a speech at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner, Louisiana, the second-term governor and former Congressman argued that his record of reducing the state government workforce and cutting the state budget showed he could succeed in tackling big problems in the federal government.
“The guy in the White House today is a great talker, and we have a bunch of great talkers running for President,” he said. “We’ve had enough of talkers, it’s time for a doer. I’m not running for president to be somebody, I’m running for President to do something.”
Earlier in the day, the second-term governor officially announced his campaign with a Facebook video showing hidden camera footage of Jindal and his wife breaking the news to their three kids and a brief statement on his campaign website. |
