Former Governor Terry Branstad, a Republican, has chosen Tuesday, January 19, 2010 as the date on which he will “formally” declare he’s running for governor again. Branstad plans to visit 17 cities that week, starting with Des Moines. The news release from his campaign only lists the cities, not the time or place of each event. The latest “corrected” news release is below (the first did not list Mason City as one of the stops).

The tour will begin in Des Moines on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2010 and wraps up on Friday, January 22, 2010.
