We’d like to hear Newton candidates do this

by | Sep 15, 2015 | Newton | 7 comments

In Somerville, Elizabeth Weinbloom, a candidate for alderman has her own campaign song.  In Boston, City Councilor Tito Jackson, has his own dance  (In fact, Jackson has had campaign tunes dating back to 2009).*

Village 14 challenges all Newton candidates running for alderman/city council, school committee or charter commission to put your message to music. Send us link  using the “Contact Village 14” option at the top of the page and we will post it here.

*via Universal Hub.

    Yes, because that’s what politics needs these days: more frivolous nonsense.

      @Andrew: Did you watch the Weinbloom video? I wouldn’t describe it as frivolous.

    Oh, man, this is what I call pressure!

    Well, count me out. My musically ability put on display would definitely be a losing proposition. I will leave this to the professionals and amateurs, of which I am neither 🙂

    … more frivolous nonsense

    Absolutely! I’m always in favor of that.

    Thanks, Chris. I get royalties every time someone does that.
