Governor Bobby Jindal says Republicans should not waste the chance they now have to show the nation they can govern.
Republicans won control of both chambers of Congress.
Jindal says voters across the country want more than just incremental change.
The party will be taking leadership positions in the Senate, and a stronger hold of the House.
The Republican governor Jindal is considering a run for president in 2016.
He says his party must do more than simply rejecting the policies of President Barack Obama.
Jindal also announced his endorsement of Republican Bill Cassidy in the Senate runoff against Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu.
