He's been meeting in recent weeks with various Republican and conservative groups in New Hampshire.
Brown, in a national exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, said he's doing his "due diligence, meeting with anybody and everybody. So you'll be seeing me a lot around, whether it's parades, triathlons, my rock band, meeting and getting out and really learning."

And Brown is taking aim at New Hampshire's all-Democrat congressional delegation.
"The thing that really ticks me off is how they've basically covered up for [President] Joe Biden for the last four years, what they've done or not done on the border, what they've done and not done in inflation, and they're just completely out of touch with what we want here in New Hampshire. And the more I think about it, I think we can do better," Brown argued.
Brown made headlines in 2010 as the then-state senator in blue-state Massachusetts won a special U.S. Senate election to serve the remainder of the term of the late longtime Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy.

Asked in May 2023 if he'd consider another Senate run, Brown told Fox News Digital "of course."
Now, as Brown considers another Senate run, time isn't working against him.
Brown jumped in late in the 2014 campaign, just seven months before Election Day.

This time around, he emphasized, "I have a long runway. I didn't have that obviously the first time, and I'm going to do what I have been doing for almost a decade now, going around, meeting with people participating in the process."
During his first Senate run, which came months after he changed his residency to New Hampshire, he repeatedly faced carpetbagger accusations.
Last week, a progressive group in New Hampshire took aim at Brown.
Amplify NH claimed in a release that "the gentleman from Massachusetts is clawing for another chance at power, framing himself once again as a Senate candidate for New Hampshire."
Brown says he's not concerned.
"We've had a house here for over three decades, and we've been fully engaged full-time here for over a decade. So now I think that's old news."
And he argued that New Hampshire's congressional delegation "votes 100% with Massachusetts."

Shaheen has yet to announce if she’ll seek another term in the Senate. That decision will likely come early in the new year.
But Shaheen, a former three-term New Hampshire governor, is taking over next month as the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the first woman to hold one of the top two positions on the powerful panel.
Shaheen also turns 78 next month.
Asked if age would be a factor in a potential Shaheen-Brown rematch, Brown said he likes Shaheen and really appreciated her support during his confirmation as ambassador to New Zealand, but added that "that's certainly up to her."
"I'm 65. I can't believe it. I feel like I'm 40. My wife says I act like I'm like 12, he added.
