Protecting Yourself From Identity Theft

Amazing show of patriotism by hundreds of Newtown residents willing to march in the bitter cold to speak out against violence by ICE. THANK YOU to Rock this Democracy and Newtown Action Alliance for organizing!!

Rock This Democracy Holds ‘March To Melt ICE’

These claims don’t hold up, and facts matter. Protests and activism occurred under Obama (including major “Dreamer” demonstrations) and under Biden (notably around Title 42 and asylum policy). So “Protests: 0” is simply not accurate. If we want an honest discussion about enforcement and public reaction, we should start with accurate definitions, comparable metrics, and a full record of civic response — not a selective tally that ignores inconvenient facts.

What Changed?

Chris, beyond your role as the “keeper of the flag pole” (which I'm truly grateful for!), your service to Newtown truly sets the bar for what selfless service looks like. You have, year after year, taken personal responsibility to make our town a better place. You're an inspiration to those who choose to step up and serve. I am deeply honored by your support and grateful for your example!! Thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, for our town!

Newtown’s Values Are Brandon’s Values

Beth, thank you for this incredibly generous and thoughtful letter. I take your words as a responsibility to keep listening, keep showing up, and keep working to ensure Newtown remains the kind of place you described for generations to come. Your support means more than I can say!

Moore Is A Leader

Are reproductive rights really an issue that is a top priority to Newtowners? OK if you say so but if that is the narrative Brendon is pushing, it is the same as saying, “Newtown, I got nothing. Just vote for me because I’m a democrat.” And regarding assault weapons? Mitch voted to expand the ban of high-power weapons and magazines, called for extensive background checks and dedicated his vote to the memory of the lives lost at Sandy Hook. Why would you lie and try to tarnish this good man’s name? Brandon, who I thank for his service, has lived in Newtown how long? Less than a year and he’s going to solve the challenges Newtown is facing with his charisma? How much experience does really have in government? Four days before he was let go? For 14 years Mitch served Newtown with honor and civility and has never once voted to increase your taxes, has fought against hidden fees like the “Public Benefits” charges on your energy bills, and is the only voice of reason we have in Hartford fighting against government mandates. That bill that took local zoning away from Newtown was opposed by Mitch for the past seven years. It took a democratic super majority to get it jammed down our throats. The last thing we need is another rubber stamp representative in Hartford. And by the way Arnie, I loved the way you and the rest of the Newtown Democrats kicked Michelle Ku to the side of the road. Pretty classy.
