Fellow Republican David Vitter holds the US House of Representatives seat that Jindal is eyeing.
Top Republican leader and current Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal is planning to run for president in 2016, a top United States Senator from his home state has said.
In 2003, Jindal, a Republican, ran and won from the 1st District after the incumbent Congressman David Vitter vacated the seat to run for the Senate. Sangisetty, an attorney, is running from the nearby 3rd District in the surrounding area of New Orleans, as the Democratic incumbent Charlie Melancon is leaving to challenge Senator Vitter in the Senate race.
