• A Campaign-Ready Press Release System for Women Running for Office

    A practical, campaign-tested press release system for women running for office—complete with editable templates, real examples, and clear guidance on when and how to send them.

Why Most Campaign Press Releases Get Ignored

For many women candidates, press outreach feels like shouting into the void. Releases are sent, inboxes stay quiet, and the coverage never comes—not because the campaign lacks substance, but because the message isn’t packaged in a way journalists can use.


Common challenges include:

  • Not knowing whether something is actually newsworthy

  • Writing releases that sound promotional instead of professional

  • Unsure who to send them to—or when

  • Worrying about saying the wrong thing, or saying nothing at all


The result is missed earned media, lost momentum, and a campaign narrative shaped by others.

A Press Release System Built for Real Campaigns

The Press Release Power Pack was created to remove the guesswork from campaign communications. Instead of abstract advice, it provides a repeatable system you can return to every time your campaign has news to share.

This is not a branding exercise.


It is operational guidance—designed to help your campaign communicate clearly, confidently, and credibly.

What You’ll Get Inside

  • Campaign-ready press release templates — editable, reusable Google Docs for the most common political scenarios
  • Templates for:
    • Campaign announcements
    • Filing announcements
    • Endorsements
    • Events
    • Press advisories
    • Press statements
  • Step-by-step guidance on how to structure, format, and write press releases journalists can easily use
  • Clear explanations of when to use each type of release and how they fit into a broader campaign strategy
  • Sample releases that demonstrate tone, clarity, and professional standards
  • Best practices for distribution, timing, and follow-up

This is a reusable system designed to support your campaign across announcements, filings, events, endorsements, and rapid response moments.

Don't Get Caught Unprepared

Campaigns rarely miss media opportunities because they lack passion or purpose. They miss them because they are unprepared to respond clearly and quickly when the moment arrives.

Without a defined press release system, campaigns often face:

  • Delayed announcements while language is debated

  • Inconsistent messaging across releases and platforms

  • Missed earned media opportunities due to timing or format

  • Increased risk of being misquoted or misunderstood

This Power Pack exists to ensure that when your campaign has news to share, you are ready to communicate with confidence and control.

Who This Is Designed For

The Press Release Power Pack is designed for women navigating real campaign constraints—limited time, limited staff, and high expectations.

No prior communications experience is required. The system is designed to provide structure, clarity, and confidence—without adding complexity.

This resource is especially useful for:

  • First-time candidates who want to communicate professionally from day one

Built by Someone Who Knows Campaigns

Women Campaign was founded by Megan Bedera, a longtime campaign strategist and consultant who has worked across political and advocacy efforts nationwide. This resource reflects real campaign conditions—not textbook theory.
