The endorsement by CSU-AAUP is meaningful to me. I was an adjunct professor, my father was a faculty member at a community college. and I appreciate the need for a united community to negotiate working conditions and support academic freedom.

The Difference is Clear Day 11: Affordability & Tax Relief
“I’ve never voted to raise your taxes” sounds impressive. But because of the way income taxes work, here’s how that claim is not unusual.
At the state level, revenue grows automatically as prices and incomes rise. Connecticut collects more through income tax, sales tax, and investment funds without ever changing a rate. The Legislature may not have voted for it, but you’re likely paying more income and sales tax each year.
Towns are different. Costs rise with inflation, but property-tax revenue doesn’t keep pace on its own. Every budget has to go through a local process and voter approval.
Michelle evaluates budgets based on needs and resources, not ideology. Some years that means cuts, some years an increase, and some years no increase at all.
And that’s the difference.
Vote Michelle Embree Ku, Democrat for State Representative, 106th District.
🗳️ Vote early October 19–November 1 or on Election Day, November 3.

Michelle loved having @State Representative Kate Farrar join her today to talk with neighbors about the issues that matter most here in Newtown—and to show what effective representation looks like.
Michelle already has strong, established relationships with legislators like Kate. That matters. On Day One as our State Representative, Michelle won’t have to start from scratch—she’ll be ready to build partnerships, get results, and make sure Newtown’s voice is heard in Hartford.
Thank you, Kate, for listening to our community with Michelle today!
