Jeb Bush Weighs In on New Hampshire Politics

Former Florida governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush weighed into New Hampshire politics on Monday, endorsing Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown.

While Bush’s support for Brown is hardly a surprise, it is significant since the Granite State holds the first presidential primary and draws the attention of White House hopefuls well before they declare their candidacy.

Earlier this month Mitt Romney held a rally for Brown where he announced his second presidential run in 2011. Bush’s support came with a simple tweet at a fundraiser.

Brown is challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
