Jeromie Whalen For MA-01

Let’s keep moving forward together, across generations, in loud declaration and in quiet reflection.

The last thing that stayed with me was what happened after. As he walked away to applause, he found his professor in the crowd and gave her a big hug. She was the reason he found the courage to speak. That connection between student, teacher, and generations, speaks volumes.

During the ICE Out protest at HCC today, a man from Jamaica stepped up to the mic and paused. “I’m feeling really nervous right now, I’m shaking.” Events like this aren’t usually his thing, but to him it mattered to push past his fear of public speaking to say his piece. 🧵

THIS FRIDAY: Sturbridge 6-8 join us for a post-caucus season celebration, pre-No Kings celebration, and just a good time! We’ll have signature papers for you to sign, words from the amazing Colin Brown and Shannon Teabo for State Senate. Be there! Sign up link below 🙌

My team and I show every single day how much we care about what’s happening in MA-01 and across this country, and we’re going to keep showing up. Much love to everyone who’s helped us along the way. The best is yet to come.

Meanwhile, Team Whalen showed up everywhere. I went to 23 myself. And we did it with an amazing group of people, often pairing younger and older generations of supporters, coming together because they believe we can do better and do it without corporate interests on our backs.

Richard Neal didn’t go to a single caucus. Springfield? Nope. Holyoke? Nada. Chicopee? Not a chance. Westfield? Nothing. Webster or the Brookfields? Ha! Charlemont, Worthington? Please. He hasn’t held a town hall in Pittsfield or the Berkshires since 2017. 🧵

Something is approaching… progress.win/choose-your-fi…

Real people in real positions of power are the only way to break the cycle of corporate elites dictating how we live.

Holyoke, I love you. My team, my friends, my family, and my supporters, thank you and I love you too. May the wind be always at your back, and may the sun shine warm upon your face. Much love, Jeromie

I told myself before I started all of this that if I ever lost track of my principles or values, I was out. And if I ever stopped feeling joy, same thing. There’s a lot of darkness we’re up against, but I’m proud that we’re doing it with smiles and hugs all along the way. 🧵

Even $1 helps get you on the books and sends a message. Let’s build this together. Link below 🙌

The Oscars were this week, so we rolled the credits on our 2025 small donor lists to see who’s backing each campaign. FEC data shows the congressman had just 3 small-dollar donors. We had 800 in half the time.

We're rolling out in Granby and Springfield this weekend for two community canvasses! Knocking doors across this district to meet voters is how we win. Whether you’ve canvassed before, or this is your first time, we’ll make sure you have everything you need. Sign up in below! ⬇️
