Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is heading to the early voting state of Iowa next month, in the latest indication that the freshman Republican is pondering a presidential bid.

Cruz will keynote the Iowa GOP Summer Picnic on July 19 in Des Moines. Tickets are selling for $100.

This is the second trip Cruz has taken to an early voting state, closely following on the heels of his trip to South Carolina last month, where he headlined the state Republican Party’s Silver Elephant Dinner. Earlier this year, he traveled to Ohio, a state considered essential to win for any presidential candidate.

His travels follow a path similar to that of other Republican presidential hopefuls: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker have all made recent forays into the state.
