(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal is traveling to Texas to boost his campaign coffers. He’s having a fundraiser on Thursday night in San Antonio and on Friday afternoon in Houston. The fundraisers were described in his official schedule as “private events” for Jindal’s re-election campaign. Melissa Sellers, Jindal’s communications director, wouldn’t provide information about who is hosting the events and how much is being sought from potential donors. The swing through Texas follows several recent trips out of state for Jindal, as his prominence continues to rise in the Republican Party and his name is bandied about as a possible presidential contender in 2012 or 2016. The governor, however, has said he is running for re-election in 2011 — and not running for president.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
