To The Editor:

I’m writing to wholeheartedly support Michelle Embree Ku for Connecticut State Representative in the 106th House district. Newtown needs steady, experienced leadership that puts outcomes first — and that’s exactly what Michelle brings.

I serve in local government, and I’ve seen firsthand the care and calm Michelle applies to the work. She has lived in Newtown for 16 years and been involved for 14 of them. She also brings extensive experience from serving on a wide range of boards — experience that reflects her competence, her discipline, and the steadiness she offers when decisions affect real families.

Michelle is smart and thoughtful, but what truly sets her apart is how she leads. She listens, she stays grounded, and she focuses on results — not ego or attention. Her commitment to progress and problem-solving is evident in everything she does, and it has inspired me in my own work. She leads with purpose, and she does it with a calm confidence you can feel.

As a woman in elected office, I know how much time, responsibility, and perseverance it takes to serve well. In a moment like this, Newtown needs someone experienced and ready. Michelle is ready — and she has earned my full support.
