Republican presidential candidates are making their way through the Granite State.

On the heels of Rick Perry's visit, Jeb Bush and Scott Walker are each in the midst their inaugural 2016 tours of New Hampshire. According to a recent NBC/Marist poll, 18 percent of potential NH GOP primary voters are in support of Bush, and 15 percent Walker.

Former Gov. of Texas Perry spoke at a Politics & Eggs event at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, followed by stops in Bedford, Gorham, Concord, Lancaster, Littleton, and Meredith, as well as a visit to Belmont Firearms.

Bush, the former governor of Florida, spoke at a business roundtable in Hudson and attended a party in Dover. "This is where you're tested," Bush said, referring to New Hampshire. "And should I go forward, I will be here a whole lot."

Wisconsin Gov. Walker told New Hampshire residents, "I think to beat a name from the past, we need a name from the future, so I think a new, fresh face will provide a contrast to Hillary Clinton."

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas will arrive in New Hampshire on Sunday.
