Rich Hungaski has this to say about Rob Blanchard, in the Newtown Bee:
Rob Blanchard: The State Senate Candidate Who Will Represent All Of Us
August 27, 2026
To The Editor:
I write enthusiastically in support of Rob Blanchard for the state Senate's 28th district. Rob has extensive local and state government experience. He has already been involved in tough state decisions working alongside Governor Ned Lamont and comptroller Sean Scanlon. This is not a learning curve for him; he already knows how state government operates, and the imperative financial needs of local municipalities.
Rob also has extensive hands-on local government experience. Serving as Fairfield RTM deputy majority leader, Rob addressed strict fiscal scrutiny of taxpayer money that included budgets, bonding and bond ratings. The combination of extensive state and local experience is a rare benefit for Newtown taxpayers. Rob feels so strongly about Newtown that he has moved here from Fairfield.
As our Senator, Rob will be advocating for what will make our lives better and help Newtown thrive. With a Democrat at the table, we will finally be able to get our priorities addressed. He will be fighting for smart economic development, affordable housing (not dictated by developers), open space, affordability, food subsidies, full-time preschool, day care support, women's rights, ICE accountability, gun control, free and fair elections (the absence of federal interference), and fair taxes.
We need Rob Blanchard in Hartford to advocate for all of us! Please join me in voting for Rob Blanchard for state Senate for our 28th district on November 3.

Amazing gathering this morning at Kennedy Park in Danbury. With so much chaos from the administration and the constant persecution of immigrant families. It is so so good to witness the outpouring of people who gather together to help the stranger. It is encouraging and reminds us that the good will overcome all the current darkness. … See MoreSee Less
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.
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.
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.
We think, regardless of party, that most of us will agree that today we’ve lost a national treasure. Dolly Parton, a smart, funny, talented and extremely decent human being, passed away at the age of 80. Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones and we salute her accomplishments during a long and extraordinary career.
Dolly Parton was around six when she wrote her first song: “Little Tiny Tasseltop,” an ode to her corncob doll with corn-silk hair. Her mother stored it preciously in a shoebox.
