Jindal handily won reelection in 2011 against a weak field of opponents who lack name recognition. As he began his second term as governor in 2012, Jindal tapped the Democrat-turned [[Moderate Republican]] [[John Alario]] of Jefferson Parish as the state Senate President, a choice then affirmed by all but one of the sitting senators, [[Barrow Peacock]] of [[Shreveport]]. Alario was subsequently supported of the tax package offered by Democratic Governor [[John Bel Edwards]], Jindal's successor.
