It's time for Massachusetts incumbent Richard Neal to step down and let some new blood step up. I read this Q&A with a candidate with a fresh perspective: https://theshoestring.org/2025/09/06/qa-jeromie-whalen-the-teacher-running-against-36-year-incumbent-richard-neal/ wrote a song based on the answers he gives the interviewer
"Whalen's Run" is a song for the underdog, written for Jeromie Whalen, a teacher from western Massachusetts challenging 36-year incumbent Richard Neal in the 2026 Congressional race. It's about standing up for workers, nurses, and everyday folks, pushing for healthcare for all and fairness for the working class. No corporate money, just heart and hustle. This track is for anyone who cheers for the little guy taking on the big shots. Neal's had an easy ride too long-sing along to this call for change in Massachusetts' 1st District.

(Verse 1)
In western Mass where rivers wind,
Jeromie Whalen speaks his mind.
A teacher's heart, with fire so true,
Challenging Neal, gonna break through.
Thirty-six years, same old game,
Jeromie's here to spark a change.
(Chorus)
Whalen's run, for the people's call,
Fighting for justice, he'll stand tall.
No corporate coin, just a true man's hand,
For the heart and soul of this western land.
Sing it out, let the truth be free,
Whalen's run for you and me.
(Verse 2)
Healthcare for all, no profit's gain,
Make the wealthy pay, ease the pain.
System's broke, he's got a plan,
Lift up every woman, every man.
No more lies, no more disguise,
Truth in his heart, fire in his eyes.
(Chorus)
Whalen's run, for the people's call,
Fighting for justice, he'll stand tall.
No corporate coin, just a true man's hand,
For the heart and soul of this western land.
Sing it out, let the truth be free,
Whalen's run for you and me.
(Verse 3)
In Gaza's grief, he speaks out plain,
Calls it wrong, won't play the game.
While Neal takes cash from war's dark hand,
Jeromie fights for a peaceful land.
Green New Deal, jobs to mend,
Hope for all, a world to tend.
(Bridge)
On picket lines, with workers' pride,
Jeromie stands, no need to hide.
From Springfield's streets to hills so wide,
He's the voice for those denied.
No elite, no power to trade,
Just a heart that's unafraid.
(Chorus)
Whalen's run, for the people's call,
Fighting for justice, he'll stand tall.
No corporate coin, just a true man's hand,
For the heart and soul of this western land.
Sing it out, let the truth be free,
Whalen's run for you and me.
(Outro)
From classroom days to Congress' door,
Jeromie fights for something more.
No-name, proud, he stands for all,
Answering the people's call.
Sing it strong, let the truth abide,
Whalen's run turns the tide.
