Former Gov. Jeb Bush‘s ambitious fundraising calendar, which recently added another 60 new events, will bring the prospective 2016 Republican candidate to Tallahassee next month.

Bush will be the special guest at a $1,000-per-plate luncheon on Tuesday, February 10 at the Hotel Duval Horizon Ballroom, 415 North Monroe Street in Tallahassee. The event is from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The majority of Bush’s upcoming agenda will be to raise money for the Right to Rise Super PAC, which can accept unlimited amounts of donations. Establishing the PAC was widely seen as the first major step in a 2016 White House run.

A spot on the host committee will cost $5,000 – either contributed or raised. RSVPs are through Ieva Smidt at [email protected] or calling (850) 567-8022.

Bush has ramped up his fundraising and online presence since his December announcement on Twitter and Facebook that he was “actively exploring” a presidential run in 2016. Earlier this month, Right to Rise PAC began running Google ads, with links to a donation page and a simple, single-line message: “Support Economic Opportunity for America’s Future. Contribute Now!”
