Scott Walker heading to Iowa

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) is heading to Iowa, the latest signal he’s preparing for a presidential bid.

{mosads}Walker will attend a major conservative gathering organized by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) and Citizens United on Jan. 24.

The event will feature a number of Walker’s potential primary rivals, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), outgoing Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (R).

This is Walker’s latest move toward a potential White House bid. He’s also secured top GOP operative Rick Wiley to run his campaign, according to reports, and engaged in some tongue-in-cheek ribbing of Christie, making fun of his support of the Dallas Cowboys on Twitter earlier this week.
