This report discusses physics issues which can be addressed in photon and weak boson production in Run II at the Tevatron. The current understanding and the potential of Run II to expand our knowledge of direct photon production in hadronic collisions is discussed. We explore the prospects for using the W-boson cross section to measure the integrated luminosity, improving the measurement of the W and Z boson transverse momentum distributions, the Z -> b b signal, and the lepton angular distribution in W decays. Finally, we consider the prospects for measuring the trilinear gauge boson couplings in Run II.
