To The Editor:

It’s time to focus on getting the vote out for the November ballot. An important midterm election for CT House of Representatives is building up steam. My candidate is Michelle Embree Ku, to represent the 106th district.

According to Ballotpedia website ballotpedia.org/Connecticut_House_of_Representatives, the House and Senate “forms the legislative branch of the Connecticut state government and works alongside the governor to create laws and establish a state budget. Legislative authority and responsibilities of the Connecticut House of Representatives include passing bills on public policy matters, setting levels for state spending, raising and lowering taxes, and voting to uphold or override gubernatorial vetoes.”

Newtown needs a representative that will perform these tasks, representing All Newtown residents and businesses. Newtown needs a representative that fights for economic fairness, justice, equality and a sustainable future. Michelle is that candidate.

Vote for Michelle Embree Ku.
