Stand up to Washington PAC, the political action committee of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, has funneled many of its donations to 2014 congressional campaigns to candidates running in early presidential states.
The Times-Picayune reported that the PAC made $35,000 in contributions for the 2014 congressional campaigns, which included donations to six candidates in Iowa and two donations — $2,600 and $2,400 — to the campaign of GOP Sen.-elect Joni Ernst.
The PAC also gave to four candidates in New Hampshire, including $2,600 to Republican Scott Brown, who lost to incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
Mr. Jindal, who is considering a 2016 bid for the presidency, delivered a well-received speech at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., earlier this fall and is scheduled to deliver a foreign policy speech at an event at the Newseum Wednesday afternoon.
