It was a terrific day for Newtown today, as winners in the Nov. 4 elections were sworn into office by Lt Gov. Susan Bysiewicz in a ceremony at Edmond Town Hall. The Newtown High School Choir sand beautifully; our Poet Laureate Lauren Clifford commenorated the occasion … and everyone promised to get to work.
Michelle Embree Ku for State Representative, 106th District!
Michelle won the Democratic Party endorsement May 26th at open caucus.
Thanks to the 460 Democrats who came out and voted!

Follow her campaign to be our next state representative!
Hosted a great conversation with young adults to listen, learn, and hear directly about what matters most in their lives—from affordability and opportunity to community, mental health, and the future they want to build.
Their voices deserve to be at the center of the conversation. Thank you to Matt Holden, Kylie Maddox, and Eddie Lundquist, who showed up and shared so thoughtfully.

I see it online—then I verify it. Meet the double-check generation!
Listening to how young adults get their information is another way Michelle ensures she reaches people where they are—and understands where to focus her message, her outreach, and her work. Every conversation she hears helps shape how she serves as State Representative: staying accessible, communicating clearly, and making decisions grounded in what people in our community are actually experiencing.

Fed up with the feed. Young adults tell Michelle that they’re turning from algorithms to people they trust.
This is active listening. This is knowing your constituents needs. This is where change happens.

So Rob Blanchard's opponent for state Senate, Amy Laroche, says her Newtown car tax payment is … umm … in the mail. Calls this a "hit piece" to make her look bad.
Well, it really isn't a good look.

If you care about education, keep this in mind when you vote on November 3. VOTE Jahana Hayes for Congress.

Every teacher, parent, educator and advocate should be terrified by this.
I don’t expect every candidate to know everything about education policy, but at the very least you should be familiar with IDEA, the federal law that ensures free appropriate public education and specialized early intervention and special education services to children with disabilities across the United States.- Especially at a time when this administration is attacking education services for students who need it most.
But when your entire platform is protecting the Trump agenda- this is a what you get.
Another reason we need teachers in Congress.
