Why We Share Press Releases from Politicians

Every so often, readers ask why we publish press releases directly from elected officials. The answer is simple: it’s about giving you the information you need to stay informed.

Press releases provide a clear, unfiltered view of where a politician stands on issues. Whether you agree with their position or not, these statements help you understand the priorities and perspectives of those in office. Yes, they can be biased, but that’s the point — you deserve to know exactly what they are saying and how they are presenting their work.

By sharing these releases, we’re not endorsing them. Instead, we’re giving you the tools to become an informed voter. Knowing a politician’s stance allows you to hold them accountable. It also empowers you to take action — to contact their office, share your perspective, and let them know what you want to see from your leaders.

The bottom line is this: if we don’t share, you don’t know. And in a democracy, information is power.
