Gov. Bobby Jindal's chief campaign fund-raiser is recovering from injuries she
suffered in a Friday night altercation with a group of people in the French
Quarter, the governor's office said Monday.


Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion
and
a fractured nose and jaw in the incident, which happened after a fundraising
event at Brennan's Restaurant on behalf of the Louisiana Republican Party on
Friday evening.


Jindal was at the fund-raising event at the restaurant, but was not present
when
the incident occurred.


Kyle Plotkin, a Jindal spokesman, said Bautsch had surgery during the weekend
and is facing a recovery time of two to three months.
"NOPD is investigating the incident and we are refraining from further comment
to allow them to fully investigate and ensure justice is done," Plotkin said.
"Our prayers are with Allee. She is a strong person and we are sure she will
make a speedy recovery."
