Скачать или смотреть Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to run for president

(25 Jun 2015) Louisiana State Governor Bobby Jindal declared his candidacy for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination on Wednesday and set about trying to distinguish himself from better known rivals.
Jindal, the nation's first elected Indian-American governor, can point to a political career filled with many achievements in a short time.
He held a position as state health secretary when he was just 24, was elected to Congress at 32 and elected governor four years later.
Raised Hindu but a convert to Catholicism as a teenager, Jindal has talked of his religious faith in small churches across Louisiana.
As he readied his presidential campaign, the governor put out an executive order to grant special "religious freedom" protections to people in Louisiana who oppose same-sex marriage.
He is competing with several contenders, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who also are trying to appeal to the same pool of evangelical voters.
