Bobby Jindal will appear with the billionaire family behind the Hobby Lobby arts and crafts chain Wednesday, as the Republican lawmaker continues to lay the groundwork for a likely presidential bid in 2016. According to an aide, Jindal will appear at an event at the Hobby Lobby campus in Oklahoma City Wednesday evening with the Green family in support of the Museum of the Bible, a museum backed by the family planned for Washington, D.C. The Greens’ retail chain became a nationwide household name earlier this year when the Supreme Court ruled that it could not be required to pay for contraceptive coverage as part of employees’ health insurance plans because it would violate their Christian beliefs. Jindal was among the most vocal Republicans in support of Hobby Lobby before the Supreme Court and one of the loudest celebrants after the decision was handed down. In a commencement address at Liberty University in May, Jindal highlighted the Green family’s fight against the Obama administration, calling the company “nothing less than an all-American success story.” The event will provide Jindal an opportunity to highlight one of his signature issues, religious freedom, while placing him next to a potential deep-pocketed donor for his likely presidential campaign. In a February address at the Reagan Library in California, Jindal held up the Hobby Lobby as an example of what he terms the Obama administration’s “silent war against religious liberty.” The conservative GOP lawmaker also supports the efforts by some in the Republican Party to [advocate](http://time.com/3305879/republicans-cant-stop-talking-about-over-the-counter-birth-control/) for greater availability of birth control over the counter at pharmacies, instead of the requirement for a doctor’s prescription. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3450339/jindal-hobby-lobby/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3450339/jindal-hobby-lobby/"},"headline":"Bobby Jindal to Appear With Hobby Lobby Family","datePublished":"2014-09-30T19:43:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:47:39.975Z","description":"Louisiana governor will stand alongside the Green family at an event, as he prepares the way for likely presidential bid","url":"https://time.com/3450339/jindal-hobby-lobby/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election","Bobby Jindal","hobby lobby"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc8154352c93c62ec/6986a63de8524b8410604fe9/bobby-jindal.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zeke Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc8154352c93c62ec/6986a63de8524b8410604fe9/bobby-jindal.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"bobby-jindal","caption":"Bobby Jindal, governor of Louisiana, waves after speaking during the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, U.S., on Thursday, March 6, 2014.","creditText":"Andrew Harrer—Bloomberg/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3450339/jindal-hobby-lobby/","name":"Bobby Jindal to Appear With Hobby Lobby Family"}}]}] ```
