The Difference is Clear Day 17: The 2024 Budget
When the state budget came up in 2024, it delivered real help for Newtown: more education aid for our schools, lower-cost community college, and federal ARPA dollars invested where communities needed them.
Mitch Bolinsky voted no.
Saying you’ve never raised taxes isn’t the same as making life more affordable. Newtown families need leaders who truthfully show up for schools, health care, safe roads, and the everyday costs that keep adding up.
The choice for Newtown is clear.
Vote Michelle Embree Ku, Democrat for State Representative. Vote early October 19–November 1 or on Election Day, November 3.

A little homework before you vote? We made you a cheat sheet. 😉🗳️
Know your choices. Compare the priorities. See the difference. This side-by-side puts Michelle Embree Ku’s priorities and Mitch Bolinsky’s voting record in focus—on issues that hit close to home.
Take a look, share it with a friend, and make your voice count. Your vote isn’t just a check in a box. It’s a say in Newtown’s future. 🧡
