To The Editor:

Michelle Ku works for us in Newtown. When Michelle has been in Hartford, she brought our needs and our perspectives to the work. She chaired a task force because food allergies in schools was an important issue for Newtown parents. She served on a Governor's advisory board because gun violence prevention is an important issue in Newtown. Michelle works for Newtown when she goes to Hartford.

Michelle Ku listens to us in Newtown. Michelle has been in Newtown talking to people about issues for over 15 years. She dug right in when she got here and worked on Charter Revision, local PTAs, local non-profits, Board of Education, Legislative Council, and Board of Selectmen, to name a few. All this time she has been open and involved with the community, taking input from constituents and neighbors and whoever needed to bend her ear about what was important to them. It all goes right back into the work.

We need Michelle Ku to represent us in Hartford. Michelle knows our town, and has been listening to us for years. Michelle has experience in working here and in Hartford enabling positive change, and she will work for what's best for Newtown.

Please join me in voting for Michelle for the 106th District State House in November.
