Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is coming to Richmond next month to raise money for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.  

Jindal, considered to be on Romney’s short list of vice presidential possibilities, will headline an Aug. 16 event for Romney Victory at the Richmond Marriott.

General admission tickets are $100, VIP tickets $1,000 and dinner tickets $5,000 per person.   

The event will be held just 10 days before the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.
