LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Wisconsin governor and likely presidential candidate Scott Walker is visiting neighboring Michigan to address Republicans.

Walker will speak to the Ingham County GOP luncheon in Lansing on Monday before keynoting the Oakland County Republican Party Lincoln Day dinner. His visit is the same day retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson announces a Republican presidential bid in his native Detroit and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul attends an event in Grand Rapids with Michigan Rep. Justin Amash.

The first Republican presidential debate is in four months. Michigan’s Republican primary is set to be contested in March.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was in Michigan in March, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will visit for the second time this year later in May.
