Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has hired a former Mitt Romney staffer with experience in Iowa and New Hampshire to lead a new group designed to drive proactive policy solutions for the Republican Party.

Via Politico:

His first hire, executive director Jill Neunaber, has experience in the early states. She managed Romney’s Iowa campaign last fall and was deputy manager of his New Hampshire operation during the primary season. She managed Gabriel Gomez’s unsuccessful Senate campaign in Massachusetts this spring.

Jindal’s been the most emphatic of the potential 2016ers to wave off speculation about running, saying anyone thinking about it this early “should have their head examined.”
