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.

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.

Thanks Joe. You and so many others know Michelle Embree Ku for Newtown is the right choice. Good letter in the Bee!
Says Embree Ku Will Work Diligently For Newtown
August 20, 2026
To The Editor:
Michelle will work diligently for Newtown, our ssate and our country. Michelle knows what Newtowners want, having served on Board of Education for eight years, on the Legislative Council and Board of Selectpersons. She stands for gun control, reproductive rights, quality education for our kids, and better health care.
She knows that healthcare needs to be improved, especially for mental health of our youth and with staffing issues for elderly care facilities. As a senior I understand that affordability is important and that inflation impacts the elderly. I am sure that she understands the impact of spending in Hartford on our citizens. She will support the Lamont team for a better Connecticut.
Please join me in voting for Michelle Ku.

Newtown Democratic Town Committee
You're right, Lynn. Michelle has earned our votes.
Will Vote For Embree Ku
August 13, 2026
To The Editor:
Voting is serious business and many of us take it too lightly. We vote for the person who has a nice smile or one who has been in office a long time. Especially now, we need to delve more deeply into the records of our candidates. What have they promised and what have they actually done for you and me.
If you look at Mitch Bolinsky's record you will see that he has voted along party lines whether it was good for Newtown or not. On the other hand, Michelle Ku has listened to us and voted accordingly. She has served the people of Newtown with integrity, commitment, and a deep understanding of our community's needs.
Please join me and vote for Michelle Embree Ku this November. Her voice in Hartford will reflect the priorities and values of the residents she serves.
