WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard is visiting Kansas for Republican campaign events hosted by Women for Brownback coalition and the Republican House Campaign Committee.

Carly Fiorina was expected to be joined by Gov. Sam Brownback and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer on Tuesday at a luncheon in Wichita and later at a rally and fundraising dinner in Overland Park.

Fiorina stepped down from Hewlett-Packard in 2005 amid upheaval about the company’s performance following her decision to buy computer maker Compaq Computer. The companies combined businesses in 2002 following a contentious acquisition. The deal was opposed by former director Walter Hewlett, the son of HP co-founder William Hewlett. The final acquisition price was $19 billion.

In 2010, Fiorina spent $5.5 million unsuccessfully running for U.S. Senate from California.
