Likely Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush quietly swooped into Boston yesterday for a fundraising lunch with business bigwigs as he builds his 2016 campaign war chest.
Bush, the former Florida governor, was hosted by Robert Reynolds, chief executive of Putnam Investments.
Laura McNamara, a Putnam spokeswoman, described the event as a "fundraising luncheon," but did not provide any other details
Former Bay State U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, who told the Herald on Thursday that he would be meeting with Bush, tweeted out a picture from the luncheon and said they were "discussing 2016 possibilities."
Bush is likely to be a favorite of the Boston business community, according to Marc Landy, a Boston College political science professor.
"Certainly because the Boston money community and ... the monied Republicans (in Massachusetts) are not as conservative, he's probably going to make some good hay," Landy said.
Bush has formed the Right to Rise PAC to lay the groundwork for a presidential bid, and has been making trips across the country to raise money.
He also met privately this week with donors in Connecticut and Manhattan.
Aides to the former governor yesterday shot down a Bloomberg News report that Bush aims to raise $100 million by April.
Bush was the third potential Republican presidential contender to come to Boston in two days. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and repeat candidate Mitt Romney attended Gov. Charlie Baker's inauguration on Thursday.
