While Jeb Bush continues to campaign on the West Coast this week, his campaign announced several events that will bring the former Florida Governor back to the Sunshine State over the course of the rest of July.

On Monday he’ll be in Tallahassee talking about reforming Washington.

“It’s about making it so that folks in Washington, Iowa, or in Mount Washington, New Hampshire, aren’t at a disadvantage because of the decisions reached in the nation’s capital,” campaign manager Danny Diaz said in a conference call to financial contributors on Thursday afternoon. “Obviously, life in the Beltway’s pretty good, but the decisions that are made there need to benefit all Americans. And how can we reform government that operates in a more effective and efficient ways. So he’s going to lay out a framework there and some ideas with respect to how to achieve that.”

On July 27, Bush will be in Orlando for an event with Hispanic pastors. And on July 31, Bush will be addressing the National Urban League in Fort Lauderdale, along with presidential candidates Ben Carson, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O’Malley.

Meanwhile, July is the first full month of the official Bush campaign, and national finance director Heather Larrison on Thursday announced details of an incentive program for bundlers this month.

For those individuals who can bring in eight individual contributors who donate the maximum $2,700 before the beginning of August, they’ll be invited to attend a dinner with the candidate in Coral Gables at the end of July, as well as attend a debate watch party for the first scheduled Fox debate on Aug. 6.

“The governor is a different kind of leader, and he’s someone that is just so focused on consensus building, so focused on solutions that bring people together, so all of us can benefit from the work that’s being done,” Diaz said.
