Do I Capitalize Presidential Administration?
An administration consists of officials who make up the executive branch of a government. AP Style holds that all references to a particular administration should be lowercase. For example,
- The Obama administration was releasing their newest initiative.
- This governor’s administration is not as transparent as the last.
- The administration took a hard stance on immigration.
- a presidential administration; the president’s administration.
Also see the page on AP Style Government, Junta, and Regime for differences in using each of these terms and “administration.”
