Scott Brown stops by Senate lunch

Former Massachusetts Senator and prospective New Hampshire Senate candidate Scott Brown has come home.

{mosads}Not back to Massachusetts, after moving to New Hampshire to explore a run against Democrat Jeanne Shaheen — back to the Senate.

Brown attended the weekly Senate Republican conference lunch on Tuesday, dropping in, an aide said, to say hello during a previously planned trip to the D.C. area for business unrelated to his New Hampshire Senate exploratory committee.

Brown’s only in the area for two days, leaving for New Hampshire tomorrow night, when he’ll return to the business of traveling the Granite State to gauge support for a potential Senate bid.
