Second Newtown DTC, League Of Women Voters Candidates Event Planned
Newtown Democratic Town Committee will again welcome the League of Women Voters of Northern Fairfield County as moderator for the second of two planned “Meet the Democratic Candidates for the 106th District” events. The first was conducted Monday, April 20, at Newtown Community Center (see related story).
The second will return to the community center, 8 Simpson Street, on Monday, May 4, at 7 pm.
Participating candidates include Michelle Embree Ku and Brandon Moore.
The in-person Q&A session will again provide residents with the opportunity to hear directly from the Democratic candidates for state representative in the 106th District. The program will begin with brief introductory remarks from the candidates, followed by a 30-minute moderated question segment led by the League of Women Voters of Northern Fairfield County, featuring questions submitted in advance by district residents.
The program will conclude with a 30-minute audience Q&A session and brief closing statements from each candidate.
Residents are encouraged to submit questions in advance; use newtownctdems@gmail.com.
Appreciated the opportunity to hear from both candidates as we were present for the College Dems forum but only heard from Brandon Moore. It was an opportunity to see who can unseat the Republican incumbent and there is no doubt that Brandon Moore should be the Democratic candidate. One concerned parent posed a question about discrimination unaddressed by the school district and interestingly enough, Michelle Ku, who proudly speaks of her Board membership years, said little, while Brandon Moore passionately addressed the issue along with his experience as an Apache Helicopter Commander. This family is supporting Brandon Moore. We need change and someone who is not afraid to disagree, especially about the rising costs of living in Newtown.
