Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said this week that he’ll probably travel to Israel in the near future — a trip that’s become almost a required pilgrimage for presidential candidates, particularly Republicans.
“I haven’t got a date yet, but I’ve had multiple requests to go, so we’ll probably try to find a way,” Mr. Walker told reporters in Wisconsin, the Journal Sentinel reported. “Previously, in the last four years the consul general’s office from Israel asked me a number of times to come and talk about water technology, other trade missions, so we’ll probably try to figure out some way to do that.”
The Washington Examiner first reported that Mr. Walker also plans to attend this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) next month, a prime opportunity for potential 2016 candidates to make their pitches to the conservative grassroots.
He’s also scheduled to join a number of potential 2016 GOP contenders at GOP Rep. Steve King’s “Iowa Freedom Summit” later this week.
