GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., will parade with Romney.

Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire is scheduled to appear in a Wolfeboro, N.H., parade with presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney on Wednesday, her office confirmed.

Ayotte, who is a frequent surrogate for Romney and who last appeared with him in New Hampshire during a June bus tour, is often mentioned as a potential vice presidential pick. While she is one of the more likely women to be considered for the slot, her name is not mentioned as often as some of her male counterparts in the Senate or i statehouses.

The Wolfeboro Independence Day parade is one of the largest in the state, Ayotte spokesman Jeff Grappone said. The senator marched in the parade last year. Romney will appear during his family vacation at nearby Lake Winnipesaukee.
