The Difference is Clear Day 20: School HVAC
Celebrating school funding is easy. Voting for it? That’s where the difference is clear.
Michelle Embree Ku pushed for better air in our classrooms. Mitch Bolinsky voted against the bill that helped fund those upgrades—then celebrated the funding.
Watch Day 20 of The Difference Is Clear. Newtown deserves follow-through, not just a feel-good post.
And, that’s the difference.
Vote Michelle Embree Ku, Democrat for State Representative. Vote early October 19–November 1 or on Election Day, November 3.

WARNING – THANKS TO THE REPUBLICANS ALTERNATIVE FACTS ARE APPARENTLY ALIVE AND WELL IN NEWTOWN!!
I’m setting the record straight.
Thomas Faeth’s accusations about what I said at Mitch Bolinsky’s coffee event is a total fabrication, and a perfect example of how the Republican Party of today has accepted lying as the norm. Mitch is the one whose behavior was out of line, and to his credit, he apologized. His supporters must be worried, realizing that Michelle Embree Ku is the stronger candidate who will better serve Newtown, so they are relying on lies to try to win votes. Alternative facts may be the norm in their world but it is most certainly not in mine.
