To The Editor:

We need to rebuild our democracy one vote at a time.

Michelle Embree Ku as Newtown’s Democratic 106th District CT State House Representative is that person!

Michelle is an intricate cog in the grass roots Democratic fabric of our town. She is intelligent, involved and conscientious.

On Affordable housing, Michelle has a comprehensive understanding of the current laws 8.30g and HB 2008. She knows why the bills don’t work and is ready to help make adjustments.

On climate change and the environment, Michelle is ready to help strengthen local infrastructure to lessen the effects of powerful storms, push for smart energy solutions, protect open space and natural resources, and support local recycling and waste reduction.

On education, Michelle will work to strengthen the Education Cost Sharing Formula. She will back initiatives for special education, school safety, and healthy learning environments.

On healthcare, Michelle will work to reduce healthcare costs, improve access to care, support senior’s healthcare needs, and make mental health care a priority.

Voting for Michelle is your first step in rebuilding our democracy.

Vote for Michelle.

We need an experienced, solid leader in Hartford.
