Haley Barbour in Leadership and Crisis, by Gov. Bobby Jindal

On Principles & Values: OpEd: Successful GOP chair and policy wonk

In 2002, when considering a gubernatorial campaign, besides my wife, the only other person I sought counsel from was Haley Barbour. I knew three things about him. First, he had been the most successful chairman the Republican Party had ever had. Second, he is a policy wonk like me. And third, he's a southerner from our neighboring state of Mississippi. I was worried he would think I had lost my mind. He didn't or at least if he did, he didn't say so. He encouraged me to explore running.
