To The Editor: When I think about who I want to represent my family in Hartford, I want it to be someone who will work for what’s best for Newtown.

To The Editor: I despise partisan politics and political labels. That’s why I never joined a political party.

To The Editor: Choice is a foundation to a good democracy, along with people stepping up and participating. It is great that this year we have two individuals that are very interested in running for State Representative of the 106th district on the Democratic side. Especially since it was only a few years ago that the seat went uncontested …

To The Editor: My husband and I moved here in 1994, knowing that retirement would be a few years away and assuming that we would move elsewhere at that point in our lives. We fell in love with Connecticut and especially Newtown and 32 years later we are still here …

To The Editor: Michelle Embree Ku would be an excellent CT Representative of the 106th district, Newtown. I have learned about her initially listening to her leading Newtown Board of Education meetings during the COVID-19 outbreak …
