BATON ROUGE (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal will amend his campaign finance report in the governor's race after an ethics complaint that he failed to report more than $118,000 worth of direct mail sent on his behalf by the state Republican Party.
The complaint said the expenses, which are included on a campaign report filed by the party, should also have been listed as a contribution to Jindal's gubernatorial campaign.
Jindal's gubernatorial campaign spokeswoman, Melissa Sellers, said in an e-mail that the congressman would file an amended campaign disclosure form even though he had been advised the matter was not a violation.
The complaint with the Louisiana Board of Ethics was filed Aug. 21 by Chris Stow-Serge, a 2007 Tulane University graduate who is a first-year high school government teacher in the New Orleans Recovery School District.
