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!
Visit Michelle on the web at KuIsForYou.com.
Follow her campaign to be our next state representative!
This endorsement is meaningful to me as a former BOE chair. I was proud to work with our teachers union on school climate and culture, safety and security, and public school HVAC funding.
I am proudly committed to standing with working people and fighting for policies that uplift working families in Connecticut and, in turn, the communities they serve. I will continue to be a strong partner and advocate for education, healthcare, and public services members.

Michelle Embree Ku for CT State Representative District 106. She's the neighbor who's been doing the work quietly for years, and now she’s bringing that same steady judgment to a new era of leadership.

Thank you to The League of Women Voters of Northern Fairfield County, who did a wonderful job of organizing and moderating the Oct. 16 candidates’ debate at Newtown High School. Bruce and Paul, our selectmen in waiting, did a terrific job: Knowledgeable, focused and ready to govern. Show up on Nov. 4!

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.
