Democratic Women’s Caucus Endorses Moore
To The Editor:
The Democratic Women’s Caucus is proud to endorse Brandon Moore for the Connecticut State Assembly.
Brandon’s life of service and achievement reflects the values our community deserves in a representative. A graduate of West Point, Brandon served our country with honor and courage and was awarded the Bronze Star for his service. As a veteran, he understands sacrifice, leadership, and the responsibility of putting others before oneself.
After his military service, Brandon continued his commitment to excellence by earning a double master’s degree from Harvard University. His academic accomplishments, combined with his real-world leadership experience, uniquely prepare him to tackle the complex challenges facing Connecticut families.
Brandon has made clear that child care and accessible, affordable healthcare are top priorities. These issues are especially critical for women and working families, who too often are forced to make impossible choices between their careers, their health, and caring for their loved ones. Brandon understands that strong families are the foundation of a strong economy and a healthy democracy.
We believe Brandon Moore will bring integrity, discipline, and compassion to the Connecticut State Assembly. His dedication to service, education, and family-centered policies makes him the right choice for our district and our state.
We urge voters to join the Democratic Women’s Caucus in supporting Brandon Moore for Connecticut State Assembly District 106.
Come meet him and other Newtown and state notables this Saturday, January 10, at 11 am in the Edmond Town Hall Theater.

Newtown
This is a bizarre and misleading letter to our Newtown Bee. There has not been a Democratic Women’s Caucus in Newtown. If there is one now, it was recently (and quietly) formed. I had expressed interest. I wasn’t invited. And it was apparently formed without the official knowledge of the Democratic Town Committee. Who are its members? And why is it endorsing Brandon Moore, especially at this stage of the election process? Is this the endorsement of an established body of active women democrats or is it the preference of the two letter signers? Nothing against Brandon Moore, but Michelle Ku is also running for Connecticut State Assembly District 106. Michelle Ku, who is well-known in Newtown for her years of dedicated public service, Michelle Ku who has been a long-time advocate for women’s issues, Michelle Ku who should have been invited to be a founding member of this so-called Democratic Women’s Caucus. This Women’s Caucus may only speak for the two people who signed this letter. It certainly doesn’t speak for me, a democratic woman in Newtown.
