The Difference is Clear Day 16: Early Voting Starts Today
Your vote should be easy to cast.
Early voting is open now through November 1, including weekends.
Connecticut voters made their choice clear in 2022 – they want early voting. Yet Mitch Bolinsky voted against the legislation that amended our state constitution to allow early voting and no-excuse absentee voting. Michelle Embree Ku will respect the will of the voters.
And, that’s the difference.
Vote Michelle Embree Ku, Democrat for State Representative. Vote early October 19–November 1 or on Election Day, November 3.

The folks who build our communities helped us reach more neighbors this Saturday! 💪
Our friends from the CT Building Trades brought energy and solidarity to an incredible canvassing event—and a shared commitment to a future where young people can learn a trade, earn a good living, and build a life right here.
Thanks for spending part of your weekend with us. This is what showing up for one another looks like!

The Difference is Clear Day 15: Flooding and Storms
Newtown deserves leaders who prepare for the challenges we can see coming.
After the 2024 flooding, Michelle Embree Ku advocated for recovery efforts—and she has continued to listen as neighbors, farms, and local businesses work to rebuild and move forward. The impacts did not end when the water receded.
The choice for Newtown is clear: Michelle will fight to give our towns the tools they need to respond to flooding, storms, and climate impacts, while protecting the wildlife and environment that make our community special.
And, that’s the difference.
Vote Michelle Embree Ku, Democrat for State Representative. Vote early October 19–November 1 or on Election Day, November 3.
