September 21, 2011

(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal is backing up his campaign endorsements with cash.
Sitting on a hefty campaign account nearing $8 million and with little chance of losing his re-election bid, Jindal has spread his campaign dollars to a list of lawmakers and state education board members for the Oct. 22 election.
The Republican governor contributed $190,500 to candidates around Louisiana.
