Clay Aiken: We Got To Be Louder Than The Noise!

Clay Aiken makes another run and this time he is confident he will win.

The former American Idol singer and actor is now turning his eyes to Washington, DC. He announced he is running for Congress. After the last battle in which he came within four points of the Republican challenger, Clay Aiken has said he's maturing his campaign is going to fight the noise of the far-right.

This time, Aiken is working to make sure that name recognition and a ground to stand on will be key to winning this round.

Given that the Republicans are thirsty for a takeback of Congress, the party of insurrection and white nationalism will try to taint Aiken as a "celebrity" trying to tell regular folks in North Carolina how to live.

The shameless hypocrisy is always there. They nominated a former reality television star with no political experience. Yet, they have the audacity to go after entertainers who want to change the norms.

They did it to Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-NY), a lawyer and former rapper known as AD The Voice.

They will do it to Aiken.

Can you believe it's been almost 20 years since I first got to share my voice with you? That's a long time. A LOT has changed!

We need powerful voices more than ever, so I'm running for Congress.

And my voice is even stronger now! ;-) #JoinTheChorushttps://t.co/aQIm8a2xuZ pic.twitter.com/xBtN2CYF30

He is competing for the 6th Congressional District.

"These days my life looks a lot like yours than Justin Bieber's. But one thing that never changed for me is how much I love my home state. North Carolina is the place where I first discovered I had a voice, and it was a voice that could be used for more than singing."

Aiken is running on progressive policies of political civility, including issues like income equality, health care and climate change.

"We, as levelheaded, open minded and compassionate Democrats, we have always been the party of All Americans," Aiken added. "We have always been the big tent and we've got to continue to be that, because from stopping climate change and systemic racism and income inequality and gun violence to securing voting rights and free healthcare and a woman's right to choose, we are the ones who are gonna solve the country's biggest problems."
