RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is coming to Raleigh to speak to the state’s conservative base.
Jindal is scheduled to hold a dinner talk entitled, “America: An Agenda for the Future.” He’ll speak at the conservative John Locke Foundation’s annual dinner in Raleigh on Wednesday.
Jindal’s spokeswoman says the governor will attend two fundraisers for his gubernatorial re-election campaign while in North Carolina: at the Charlotte headquarters for Baton Rouge-based Shaw Group Inc. and at the Umstead Hotel in Cary.
Jindal was frequently mentioned as a possible running mate for Republican presidential candidate John McCain during the 2008 election season, and conservatives have touted him as a possible 2012 candidate for the White House. The 37-year-old Jindal has denied interest in a presidential campaign.
