ELECTIONS// Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a one time rising star from the Republican Party, has officially announced his US presidential campaign for 2016. “My name is Bobby Jindal and I am running for President of the United States of America,” Jindal, who is the first person of Indian-American heritage to run for US president, said on his website. Jindal is also expected to launch his campaign with a speech at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner, Louisiana. He has recorded a hidden video in which he and his wife tell their kids about the campaign. In the video that was filmed from a camera in a nearby tree and posted on Facebook, the Jindals tell their three kids they aren’t allowed to tell their soccer and baseball teammates about the secret they’re letting them in on. Jindal is currently in last place in a 15-person Republican field.
