BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal is helping a fellow Republican in his neighboring state drum up cash for the Mississippi governor’s race.
Jindal traveled Tuesday to Biloxi, Miss., to attend a fundraiser for GOP Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant.
Jindal’s spokesman announced the trip Tuesday.
Bryant is running against Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree, a Democrat, in the Nov. 8 general election. The winner will succeed Republican Gov. Haley Barbour in January. Barbour could not seek a third term.
Jindal is up for re-election on Oct. 22, but he’s attracted no well-funded opponents.
