Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush will be in Iowa this coming week, attending meet-and-greet events Monday at Morningside College in Sioux City, before heading to Ames to speak at the Story County GOP dinner. On Tuesday, the former Governor from Florida will attend a meet-and-greet at the Barley’s Pub, in Council Bluffs (114 W. Broadway), beginning at Noon.

Bush’s campaign reported Thursday that it raised $11.4 million in just six days. That’s likely at least twice as much as his next closest Republican competitor.Yet Bush has no direct control over 90 percent of the money. The total includes $103 million raised by a super PAC. And by law, the super PAC can’t take direction from Bush’s Miami-based campaign. The two operations have limits on how they can communicate. The system was designed by Bush’s most trusted advisers. It’s a strategy untested in modern politics.
