Well said, Anne. Thank you. Michelle Embree Ku is about as stand-up a person, let alone a state house rep, as one could possibly hope for. I definitely will be supporting her -- as an Independent! Who (sadly) must register as a Dem in order to vote in primaries. Ah... so many other things to fix about our system! :)

Says ‘There Is A Better Way’

The endorsement letter isn’t the problem — the branding is. A group calling itself the “Democratic Women’s Caucus” strongly implies a party-connected, representative body. Yet one of the co-founders wrote here in the comments that it’s “not affiliated with any political party.” If that’s true, the name is misleading to readers. We’ve seen this movie before. The Bee described the Newtown Conservation Coalition as “a public group based on the social media platform,” and noted that its name has confused residents because it closely resembles the Newtown Conservation Commission. Words matter, especially when they borrow the credibility of established civic institutions. If the Democratic Women’s Caucus is simply two founders speaking for themselves, that’s fine — just be transparent and wait for it ... honest...

Democratic Women’s Caucus Endorses Moore

I agree with Ms Renner. The name is misleading. If you are NOT affiliated with a political party, why have it in your title? Both Miller and Bloom are both Democrats and I am also dismayed that Michelle Ku isn't getting your endorsement. A clear case of "With friends like this, who needs enemies?" I am an independent voter, and although I haven't voted for a Democrat since Obama, I have always found Ms Ku polite and not only willing to listen to both sides of a discussion with an open mind, she is extremely helpful with a follow-up contact to see if an issue is resolved.

The Democratic Women’s Caucus is not affiliated with any political party.
