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!
As a former Board of Education Chair, I’ve worked alongside educators, families, and our teachers union to make schools safer, stronger, and better supported—from school climate and security to the HVAC upgrades our public schools need.
Gun violence touches every part of community life: our classrooms, our rights, our families, and the mental-health challenges too many people face alone. I’ll keep fighting for practical, lifesaving gun-safety laws, stronger mental-health care, and safer schools for every student.
Thank you to Everytown for standing with leaders who believe our communities deserve action—not excuses.
Ready for new energy? Vote Michelle Embree Ku for State Representative.

No wonder we need food drives! As grocery bills go up, SNAP enrollment has been cut.

Michelle spent Saturday afternoon in the ticket booth at the Newtown Parks and Recreation End of Summer Carnival. She spotted people she knows and families she met earlier that same day while canvassing. Same neighbors, same smiles, totally different setting.
That's Newtown in a nutshell. Small town relationships and wholesome fun.

Amazing gathering this morning at Kennedy Park in Danbury. With so much chaos from the administration and the constant persecution of immigrant families. It is so so good to witness the outpouring of people who gather together to help the stranger. It is encouraging and reminds us that the good will overcome all the current darkness.

Once again ICE is terrorizing our local communities, ignoring due process, separating families by not targeting individuals with arrest warrants but instead indiscriminately rounding up people who “look and sound different,” regardless of immigration status. Governor Lamont is right. This needs to end and it ends at the ballot boxes in November. The midterms are critical to sending people who will reign in ICE and respect state’s laws and rights.
