Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) will headline an Arizona luncheon next week that may offer another hint about his intentions concerning a White House run.
The Associated Press reported Saturday that Walker will speak to the Arizona Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday.
{mosads}The potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate will address an audience at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown that also includes remarks by Gov. Doug Ducey (R-Ariz.)
Walker’s visit is the latest in a series of high-profile stops that insinuate he will seek the Oval Office. He has also recently visited Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina — all states that play significant early roles in the presidential race.
The governor notably huddled with several Republicans during his New Hampshire stop. Walker met former Gov. John Sununu, former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas during the March 13-14 trip.
Walker also spoke at the first-ever Iowa Agriculture Summit in Des Moines on March 7.
“I firmly believe there are jobs to be had not just across my state but across America,” he said at the event. “If you work hard and play by the rules in America, you should be able to do anything.”
A string of other theoretical 2016 contenders for Republicans were also in attendance in Iowa, including Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Walker successfully weathered a recall attempt against him in 2012. The governor is popular among Republicans for his toughness during battles against Wisconsin’s unions.
