Bobby Jindal will speak at CPAC

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) will speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference in March, making him the latest prospective presidential contender who'll appear at the right-wing confab.

"Governor Bobby Jindal represents a new generation of governors leading the conservative movement," American Conservative Union Chairman Al Cardenas said in a statement announcing Jindal's appearance. "We look forward to welcoming Governor Jindal back to the CPAC stage and hearing about the many conservative solutions he introduced in Louisiana."

Already on board for the event: Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.). Mitt Romney will also speak at the event, one of his first public addresses since the presidential election.

CPAC is a huge annual event for the conservative movement and often brings in GOP stars who are considering a run at the presidency. This year is no exception. The event will take place just outside of Washington, D.C., from March 14-16.
