SCORE Events And Webinars For Western Connecticut

Congratulations on raising a wonderful Harvard grad who has served his country well. My son is a Harvard Law School graduate and that was not an easy accomplishment, as you know. He was Cornell before that. My brother was a paratrooper and my uncles served in the military, as well. In segregated troops, but they were also so proud to serve. I am so grateful to your beautiful and brilliant child. I am grateful to anyone that takes on the difficult task of representing an entire community. It is not at all an easy task. In my 64 years, I have worked with some incredible community leaders and elected officials, on so many levels. I was an administrative law judge, a judge's court attorney, a managing partner, a hospital administrator etc. Community record of service and loyalty and experience is so important at all levels. I know that with more years of experience in the Newtown community your Brandon hopes to represent, he will have enough experience under his belt that he will be a great advocate for Newtown. I also know that at this time, Michelle Ku has that experience, record and knowledge and she will be an incredible State Representative and any truly committed additional nominee will work with Michelle Ku to help her do what all need done. They would work very well together and many of us hope that is what happens. Congratulations again, on a job well done.

Brandon’s Story, From His Mom’s Perspective

This shocks me and I may be naïve to what can be done but I had a similar issue before moving to Newtown and I put it on the agenda for a town meeting and the Department of Transportation had to address the matter. Is this not an issue that Transportation can look into. Diverting traffic or slowing it down is not a way to address the fact that your enjoyment of your home is affected? Perhaps even the safety of your immediate community? If I were to drive through and witness what you have described, I would definitely not be interested in purchasing a home on your street. How is this not an assessment issue that you raise and they must investigate? Where is the accountability toward tax paying home owners?

Traffic On Schoolhouse Hill Road

Thank you for your service Brandon Moore. Thank you for the events you have participated in during the months that you have lived in Newtown. However, I am too old and wise to not realize, there are so many unanswered questions about the newcomer. So many issues the Republican Party raised about Mr. Moore’s brief employment in government that I’ve inquired about, but people won’t discuss. The Republican Party statement that Michelle Ku deserves better. It leads me to support Michelle Ku, without reservation. However, if there can be transparency about the allegations against Brandon Moore, I might consider him a worthy democratic candidate. On another note… why did I receive an email from you with the wrong DTC meeting dates? I missed the meetings I could have attended. Hmmmm. Ah, but me not overthink. Hope to be at the next exciting DTC meeting.

Thank You For Stepping Up, Brandon

Why, you ask? Perhaps it is because Michelle Ku has been in the community for 16 years and advocating for everyone the entire time, and not merely a few months living in Newtown and playing politics. She has spent years actively seeking resolutions for shared problems, not merely living in Newtown. This election is clearly not a stepping stone in her life. Michelle Ku has established a record of advocacy for what works for the community, throughout her years in Newtown. I cannot speak about any alleged comment from some in her "camp" stating that they might vote for the ICE wardrobe admiring adversary to the democratic party, rather than vote for the newcomer, Brandon Moore. I will tell you that all Michelle Ku supporters have been told, by Michelle Ku and not gossip, including on posts on line, is that we should trust the process and not make this a distasteful caucus election. Anything, anyone says or does, that is anything less than dignified, is not from Michelle Ku. By the way, referring to them as "Ku" and "Moore" and the supporters as "camp", sounds a bit "aggressive" and "divisive" to me, as an admirer of boxing. Therefore, it is ironic to call her supporters divisive. However, I love a good fight. I have a son who is an attorney, a Saltzman Intellectual Property Scholar, and a boxer, and I find a good fight to be a bit more graceful, though. Finally, I would like to say that caucuses cost someone something and it is usually those that are forced to step out to vote between two same party candidates, when the party can simply vouch for the worthiest of the candidates, do what the party is meant to do, and endorse a candidate with a solid track record, so all work to defeat the true adversary. When the unsuccessful candidate of that party decides that "he" is going to run on the third ticket, "he" splits the vote and almost guarantees that the ICE wardrobe loving opponent to the Democratic ticket, succeeds. Newcomers tend to split the vote and this newcomer seems to have guaranteed that if Michelle Ku is the Democratic nominee, and "he" is not, "he" is running on a third ticket. I think calling "surrogates" and "camps" divisive is disingenuous, at best. I take great pride in the fact that the opposing party itself has stated that Michelle Ku deserves better and that there are some unanswered issues concerning the newcomer. While Michelle Ku would not allow those issues to be exploited, I welcome the opposing party substantiating its claims about the veracity of Ms. Ku's democratic party opponent. Maybe it is the lawyer in me. Maybe it is the fact that I have belonged to various parties during my 64 years of life. Maybe it is the community activist in me or the critic of political parties, due to my work behind the scenes of some great NYC elections, but I am paying close attention to who is really transparent in this race and so far, Michelle Ku, has restored my faith in a system that is pretty broken.

All Democrats Should Embrace The Democratic Process
