For Reporters
Media Inquiry Process
The campaign welcomes serious press inquiries from credentialed reporters, podcast hosts, editorial boards, and Hillsborough County outlets. Every request gets the same treatment the campaign extends to a constituent question: thoughtfully, on the record, and on a timeline that respects the journalist's deadline.
How to reach the press team
For interview requests, statements, and background conversations, contact the campaign through the contact form and note "Press inquiry" in the message. Include your outlet, the topic, your deadline, and whether John Peters should be on the record, on background, or both. The press team typically responds within 24 hours on business days and within 48 hours over weekends.
Embargo and on-background policy
The campaign honors embargoes set in good faith by working journalists. Background conversations stay on background until both parties confirm a switch to the record. The campaign does not field anonymous-source requests through unverified channels.
Fact-check standards
Fact-check requests get a response inside the deadline you provide. If a number, vote, or quote attributed to John Peters appears mischaracterized in a draft, send the passage and the press team will respond with sourced corrections. Cycle pieces about John's policy positions for FL-14 should reference the published platform first. The contrast pieces at /castor-record and /rochford-record carry the cited voting-record contrasts.
Coverage Archive
Recent Coverage
Coverage of the John Peters for Congress campaign, op-eds by John on issues affecting Hillsborough County, and press releases issued by the campaign will be archived here as the 2026 race rolls out. The 2026 cycle is the first competitive cycle for the post-HB 1D FL-14 footprint, and the campaign expects substantive coverage from Tampa Bay, Brandon, and statewide outlets in the months leading to the August 18, 2026 Republican primary.
Reporters tracking the race should also follow John's background and the issue stance pages at /issues, where each FL-14 position is published in full alongside the contrast with the incumbent's voting record. Background on FL-14's geographic footprint after Florida's HB 1D mid-decade redistricting is available at /district.
