Over the past month, Bobby Jindal has spent $1.3 million on advertising for the next election, even though he has no big competitors in the upcoming re-election. Jindal has around $6 million left and on average spends about $97,000 a day with 2/3 of the advertising being on the TV or the Internet. Jindal is running against 9 other competitors who don’t have nearly as much money or recognition as him so he has very high chances of winning the race. A new report states that the other candidates have raised much more money than they had in mid-September. One competitor, Dardenne, raised $514,000 and another $83,000 since the end of the reporting period while Nungesser raised $820,000 and another $24,500 raised after the reporting period. Nungesser put $1 million of his own money while Dardenne hasn’t put up any of his personal investments. Jim Tucker raised more than $600,000 in his campaign while Tom Schedler, raised $363,000 in his campaign. They both put their own additional money in the campaign also, Tucker $500,000 and Schedler putting up at $350,000. Since Jindal does not have too much competition, he contributed $80,000 to the other candidates. He also spread his campaign dollars to lawmakers, education board candidates and statewide elected officials.
Bobby Jindal is getting ahead of his upcoming election by raising more money than anyone else in the race. Bobby Jindal is a very popular Governor right now and does not need more popularity and advertising because his polls are so high. Jindal is following the chapter in Hardball “Don’t Get Mad, Don’t Get Even, Get Ahead.” Bobby Jindal is ahead with all of his campaigns because he knows that these competitors will soon be more successful than they are now.
