Walker Begins Preparation for White House Bid

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) “has taken the first formal step toward a presidential candidacy in 2016, establishing a committee that will help spread his message and underwrite his activities as he seeks to build his political and fundraising networks in the months ahead,” the Washington Post reports.

“Walker filed papers to set up the committee, called Our American Revival, and a new Web site for the organization was scheduled to go live later Tuesday. The steps come after a busy weekend of pre-presidential events that included his address at the Iowa Freedom Summit, a later appearance at a gathering in California hosted by the billionaire Koch brothers and a stopover in Denver for additional fundraising.”
