The Difference is Clear Day 2: Taxes & Budgets
Families are feeling the squeeze—and the difference is clear.
In 2025, Mitch Bolinsky voted *NO on the state budget that included a $250 increase to the Earned Income Tax Credit for eligible working families with children. Michelle Embree Ku supports putting money back in families’ pockets while working to lower energy and health insurance costs—the everyday costs that make it harder to make ends meet and drive pressure on local property taxes.
That’s the difference! Newtown deserves a representative who puts working families first.

“The most Newtown thing I’ve ever seen is people helping other Newtowners.”
That spirit is at the center of this conversation. New episode of Two Guys and a Pint drops today. [open.spotify.com/episode/7r8DYqRzUQLxfbc5iAEe4A?si=IvjmF1ucSvmtK9mhANlCYA&nd=1&dlsi=65f616d70e2249d9]
Michelle Embree Ku talked about property taxes, education funding, I-84, affordable housing, local volunteers—and why listening at the more than the 1,000 doors she’s knocked on this year—is important. Her reason is simple: “I want to know what’s on your mind so I can be a better representative.”
And, don’t miss Michelle’s answer to this important question: What would be your signature dish if you opened a Newtown restaurant?…
