Governor Walker headed to New Hampshire to deliver keynote speech at Republican Party event

MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker is headed to New Hampshire for the first time in March.

His campaign confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that Walker will be giving the keynote speech March 14 at an event organized by the New Hampshire Republican Party.

Walker says in a statement issued by the New Hampshire state party that he looks forward to sharing what he called a "common sense conservative message with grassroots activists."

Walker, alongside former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, is one of the only likely Republican presidential candidates who hasn't yet traveled to New Hampshire.

Walker is scheduled to speak at a conservative summit in Iowa on Saturday, marking his first visit to that state since September.

Walker just began his second term as Wisconsin governor.
