In our newest series, Michelle explores the important topic you’re all talking about: traffic! Join the conversation. Follow along. Share your thoughts.
Traffic isn’t just annoying. It has become a real cost to families, schools, and businesses in Newtown every single day.
Our traffic is getting worse—I‑84 starts to back up and local roads become packed. As your next State Rep, I’ll fight to make I-84 safer, expand lanes, and ensure that Connecticut is eligible for federal road funds. What's your worst traffic spot?
I'm Michelle Embree Ku. Vote me in to the 106th State House seat and I’ll fight for relief from the congestion that is affecting our lives in Newtown [read more kuisforyou.com/fix-the-commute-take-back-our-roads/]
Comment TRAFFIC if you want me to bring this fight to Hartford. Share this so your neighbors see the plan too.

Through her advocacy, Michelle Embree Ku is calling for a collective effort to address gun violence — from its effects on education and women's rights to the urgent need for suicide prevention — through safer gun laws and stronger mental health care.
Think you know Michelle? 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 fresh leadership. Vote this November for the leader who’s ready to represent you.
Ku Is Fo You — Ready to lead with fresh urgency with practical solutions.

From the Newtown Bee Letters to the editor: Thanks Lynn!
Vote For Michelle Embree Ku In November
July 23, 2026
To The Editor:
I'm writing this letter in support of Michelle Embree Ku who is running for Newtown's state representative. I've known Michelle for years now and I know what she stands for. Most importantly to me, she believes in a woman's right to choose; she believes that man has influenced the climate and that burning fossil fuels has caused global warming; she believes in gun control, and that assault weapons should be banned nationwide. All of these policies are the exact opposite of what our current state representative believes in. In fact, he has voted AGAINST a woman's right to choose and the banning of assault weapons in Connecticut.
Who do you agree with? Vote your conscience in November. Vote for the person who shares Newtown's values. Vote for Michelle Embree Ku.
