Press Released will cover the previous week's press releases from presidential candidates that may have been overlooked in the media cycle. It's not meant to be complete, but should be comprehensive including any release relating to national politics. Any release that is calendar related, not of national concern, or previously blogged about will not be covered here.
This week, we're also excluding financial report press releases; we're going to include them in our reports of the detailed financial results we post later in the week.

Editorial Note: all language I use to describe a release is what the candidate uses or what I judge to be the most accurate way of describing the candidate's position; e.g., if a candidate calls global warming the 'climate crisis' I will use that; if they call it 'alleged global warming' I will do the same.
