The governors include Robert Bentley of Alabama, Rick Scott of Florida, Terry Branstad of Iowa, Sam Brownback of Kansas, Paul LePage of Maine, Rick Snyder of Michigan, Brian Sandoval of Nevada, Susana Martinez of New Mexico, John Kasich of Ohio, Mary Fallin of Oklahoma, Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania, Nikki Haley of South Carolina, Dennis Daugaard of South Dakota, Bill Haslam of Tennessee, and Matt Mead of Wyoming.
