Clay Aiken, who gained fame on the talent show American Idol, is running for Congress and we have the video to prove it. Aiken will run on the Democratic platform in his native North Carolina, and hopes to dethrone the Teaparty queen, Renee Ellmers.
Ellmers, a Teaparty Congresswoman, has been a vocal opponent of the president and all of his policies, especially healthcare.
In the video announcing his candidacy, Aiken credits his mother, his upbringing and his work on the Presidential Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, the National Inclusion Project, as some of his reasons for running for office.
