Gov. Jindal talks to ONE about his role in US efforts to save lives in Africa
Iowa State Central Committee member Wes Enos had the opportunity to talk with Governor Bobby Jindal about ONE during his stop at a Republican rally in Newton, Iowa yesterday, just like we did with him earlier this month in New Hampshire. Gov. Jindal was in town as part of a GOP effort around the gubernatorial race, but Mr. Enos used the opportunity to tell him about ONE and our efforts to fight extreme poverty and global disease in the poorest parts of Africa.
Mr. Enos thanked Gov. Jindal for his work with Secretary Tommy Thompson while Gov. Jindal was at the Department of Health and Human Services from 2001 to 2003. Mr. Enos told Gov. Jindal that his efforts — as part of the Bush Administration’s efforts to fight AIDS and poverty in Africa — are still being felt today. Gov. Jindal told him it was an honor to be part of an effort that is still saving lives today.
