Later this month, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is expected to join the growing list of Republican candidates running in the 2016 presidential nomination.

Jindal's top adviser Timmy Teepell, who is also his former chief of staff and could possibly serve as his campaign manager in his likely bid for the White House, said the Republican governor will announce his presidential intentions on June 24 in New Orleans, reports Politico.

Jindal also released a statement on Wednesday saying that if he runs, his campaign "will be based on the idea the American people are ready to try a dramatically different direction," reports CNN.

"We don't need just small changes, we need a dramatically different path," he said.

Jindal's announcement will come about a month after he launched a federal committee to formally evaluate a presidential bid and a new patriotic website. His exploratory committee website includes a red, white and blue logo in the shape of a "J" and the phrase: "We must fight to make sure the next generation is not the first generation to inherit fewer opportunities than their parents," followed by the question, "Will you join me?"

The two-term governor has also begun making rounds to key primary states.

A recent CNN/ORC International survey shows that Jindal is polling at 1 percent nationally. His popularity ratings have also slipped in his home state in part because the state's budget surplus has dropped to a $1.6 billion deficit.

The former congressman is known for being a staunch opponent of the Affordable Care Act, Common Core, same-sex marriage and big government.

"The reality is if we don't reduce the size of government, it is going to swallow our economy and turn the American dream into a European nightmare of government dependence," he said at the South Carolina Freedom Summit, according to USA Today.
