To The Editor:

Firearms remain the leading cause of death for children and teens. Creating a future free from gun violence starts with electing candidates who will govern with gun safety in mind.

Michelle Embree Ku has been active in gun violence prevention advocacy and community recovery efforts for over a decade.

As a candidate for state rep, she has been recognized as a Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction. Those awarded the distinction have demonstrated in their record and public positions that they will support stronger gun laws and advocate for safer communities if elected.

Please join me on voting for Michelle Embree Ku to represent Newtown in Hartford.
