WASHINGTON (Diya TV) — President-Elect Donald Trump has spent the last several days on the early beginnings of his official administration, two-term Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal is being reportedly considered for the position of Health and Human Services Secretary.

Jindal, aside from his tenure of governor, also previously served Louisiana as the secretary of its Department of Health and Hospitals, a position he held at the ripe age of 24.

In 2008, the Republican Jindal became the first Indian-American in history to be elected governor of a state in the U.S. He’d previously become just the second Indian American in history to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. If the 45-year-old is appointed, he’d set another record, becoming the first Indian American to serve in a presidential cabinet.

Jindal has already served a sitting U.S. president in a capacity — he served as the principal adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Bush administration. He ran for president during the most recent cycle, but dropped out of the race after his campaign failed to gain any significant steam.

As governor, he emerged as a national voice against the Affordable Care Act, which Trump has vowed to repeal. During his abortive bid for the GOP presidential nomination, Jindal put forward several plans, including one on health care, which includes planks on cross-state health insurance care plans, cracking down on fraud, establishing health savings accounts and several anti-abortion measures, including “strengthening conscience protections for businesses and medical providers.”

Jindal is being considered for the position along with fellow Republican and former presidential candidate rival Ben Carson. After dropping out of the race, Carson attached his support to candidate Trump, who shocked the nation last week with his victory in the general election.

Trump has made previous mention of Carson in regards to the secretary position.
