Health District Director Donna Culbert believes Newtown is poised to see its COVID-19 alert status elevated to orange due to the mounting number of positive cases among residents.

National Guard Captain and Army Dental Officer Sean Lee, DDS, MOS is inviting his brothers and sisters in arms for a free dental exam and no-cost treatment on Veterans Day, November 11.
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.
Kathy if you are labelled a "domestic terrorist" for submitting this letter, then I am happy to be labelled the same right besides you. And that's coming from someone who has literally fought terrorists abroad. You are on the right side of the Constitution and the right side of history! Thank you for standing up unapologetically against violence by ICE!
I'm thrilled to see that young people are getting more civically engaged!! This is so critical if we are going to overcome the political divisiveness in our country. Thank you so much, Aidan!!
