Piyush "Bobby" Jindal (born June 10, 1971) primarily known (using his self-adopted nickname) as Bobby Jindal, is the current Governor of the U.S. state of Louisiana. Prior to his election as governor, he was a member of the United States House of Representatives from Louisiana's 1st congressional district, to which he was elected in 2004 to succeed current U.S. Senator David Vitter. Jindal was re-elected to Congress in the 2006 election with 88 percent of the vote.

On October 20, 2007, Jindal was elected governor of Louisiana, winning a four-way race with 54% of the vote. At age 36, Jindal became the youngest current governor in the United States. He also became the first non-white to serve as governor of Louisiana since P. B. S. Pinchback during Reconstruction; one of fewer than ten people not of primarily European ethnicity elected governor of a state following Reconstruction, and the first Indian American elected to state-wide office in U.S. history. Jindal has been mentioned as a potential candidate in the 2012 United States presidential election.
