Sugar Inc. has launched CitizenSugar.com, a site dedicated to political news and campaign coverage. CitizenSugar features breaking news, profiles of local politicians and potential candidates, among other issues. Like Sugar's other properties, the new site offers a mix of editorial and user-generated content.

This new launch comes on the heels of Sugar's rollout last week of SavvySugar, a finance and career site--moves that the online media network has taken to expand its suite of women-focused offerings beyond entertainment content.

"We started out by offering women distractions from the craziness of their day-to-day lives with the guilty pleasures of celebrity gossip and fashion, but our readers told us that they are news junkies as well," said Lisa Sugar, editor in chief of Sugar Inc. "The launch of CitizenSugar makes the Sugar Network a one-stop-shop for women to get all of their news and information, be it political, gossip, family or more."
