Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La., just endorsed Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, for the Republican nomination for President. The nomination comes on the same day that former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., received an endorsement from former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn.
Here is Jindal’s statement:
“Rick Perry is the candidate who can lead our party to victory in 2012,” said Gov. Jindal. “His record on job creation simply cannot be beat, and the one million jobs he’s helped create as governor is a stark contrast to the 2.4 million jobs lost on President Obama’s watch. President Obama promised hope, but he simply hasn’t delivered. Rick Perry will bring our country more than hope – he’ll get America working again.”
