Openly gay American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken is running for Congress...again. Aiken, a Democrat, previously ran for Congress in 2014 when he tried to unseat then-incumbent U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers, a Republican who represented North Carolina’s Second Congressional District. The singer and former special education teacher lost to Ellmers, 59 to 41 percent. This time around, Aiken is running in a more liberal district. The newly redrawn Sixth District includes much of the territory that’s now represented by U.S. Rep. David E. Price, a Democrat, 81, who is not seeking reelection. Since his days on American Idol, Aiken has released several albums, performed on Broadway, hosted a Christmas special on TV, and been a UNICEF ambassador.
