You call a group of lions a pride and a group of geese a flock. Elephants in a group are called a herd, but sometimes the phrase a “parade of elephants” is used if the elephants are moving. A group of Republican governors are coming to Iowa. I’ll let you assign a name to the group. The details of their travel appearances in Iowa are below, as outlined in a news release from the campaign of former Governor Terry Branstad, the Republican who wants to be governor again.

Anne Gindorff Heinz from Dubuque. I’m curious who O.Kay Henderson thinks won the 3rd debate? And has the DM Register endorsed either candidate yet?
The Telegraph Herald will be printing a letter I wrote last week.
It reads…
Iowa was voted #3 as the ‘best-run state’ of the 50. At the helm – Chet Culver. It ain’t broke, folks. No fixing needed. Re-elect Chet Culver for governor!
