MADISON, Wis. - Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will be hosting a fundraiser for Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker.

Bush is slated to headline a March 8 fundraiser in Milwaukee. He served two terms as Florida's governor, leaving office in 2007.

Tickets for the event are $250 per person.

In the last six months of 2009 Walker raised nearly $1.8 million followed by $1.3 million from Republican rival Mark Neumann. Neumann loaned his campaign $1 million.

Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett raised over $800,000, but he didn't get into the race until November.

The primary is Sept. 14 and the election is Nov. 2.
