BATON ROUGE, LA (AP) - Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is fueling speculation of possible long-term presidential ambitions with a planned trip to Iowa next month.

Jindal will keynote a fundraising dinner for the Iowa family policy center's "celebrating the family" banquet, a high-profile christian conservative event in a state pivotal in presidential races.  The governor's spokeswoman, Melissa Sellers, confirmed that Jindal will attend the event November 22nd and also will make a stop in the Cedar Rapids area to see some of the recent flooding damage there.

Jindal is considered a rising star on the national Republican scene, and he's traveled to several states lately to fundraise and help other GOP politicians with their fundraising efforts.

Also, Louisiana's First Lady, Supriya Jindal, is hitting the campaign trail more often occupied by her husband.  Jindal will travel to Pennsylvania on Monday and Tuesday to campaign on behalf of Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

The first lady will be campaigning with McCain's wife, Cindy.  The governor's office announced the events.  The two women will attend three rallies together.
