3 Easy Steps for Getting Election News in Your Inbox
It’s hard to believe we’re just a few weeks out from the midterm elections.
Just as 2020 was an election year unlike any other, 2022 promises to be another impactful year as Americans continue living through a global pandemic while also debating hot-button topics like inflation, abortion, and the war in Ukraine. These dominant news stories are having an outsized impact on the upcoming elections and the news stories around them are constantly changing.
It can be tough for journalists to keep up with all the election news.
PR Newswire’s Policy & Government newsfeed has carried a host of big headlines over the last several months. Recently, these headlines crossed the newswire:
- As Country Looks Ahead to November Midterms, 85% of Employees Want a Politics-Free Zone at Work, According to New National Survey
- Cadence Education Grants Free Childcare to Midterm Voters on Election Day
- Transformative Justice Coalition, National Newspaper Publishers Association, and Partners Launch Bus Tour to Increase Black Voter Registration
- As Midterms Approach, 79% of Americans Believe Mental Health Is a Public Health Emergency That Needs More Attention from Lawmakers
- Easterseals & AARP Survey Finds Nearly All Americans with Disabilities, Especially Those 50+, Plan to Vote in Midterms

- Federal and State Legislation
- Federal Executive Branch/Agency News
- Foreign Policy/International Affairs
