A Tale of Two Aikens16 Sep Yesterday I learned that an acquaintance passed away suddenly. Brian Aiken was about my age worked in the accounting industry in DC and really liked going to JRs, the bar where I would usually see him. In fact just last month I saw him there and our conversation was short and sweet. One thing about Brian is that if he even remotely recognized you he made sure to say hi and be warm. The details of his passing have not become clear, but what is clear is that he was too young. My thoughts go out to his family and his close friends.Later in the day I attended a fundraiser for a candidate for Congress from North Carolina. Clay AIken. You might remember Clay Aiken, 35, for coming in 2nd on American Idol a little over a decade ago and on The Apprentice more recently. The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund recently endorsed his candidacy and I was looking forward to the chance to meet him. What a lot of people don’t know about Clay is that he auditioned for American Idol on a whim, and at the time was working with kids with autism. He has a degree in special education and he has a lot of thoughts about how education and how it is funded in the United States. I was really impressed with his knowledge of so many different issues, more than most Members I’ve been in contact with, and more importantly how realistic he was about his race. He’s running against a crazy Republican Incumbent, Renee Ellmers. She has done so much harm to her district in the name of voting along party lines. It is clear that Clay would be a much better representative to this district.I asked him about his campaign strategy and his effort to turn out women. The incumbent Senator in North Carolina, Kay Hagan is in a tough re-election fight and it is so important to Democrats that she hold this seat. If she can turn out women, seh wins. If they don’t turn out, she loses. He started with how his fanbase is mostly comprised of women… And how he is concentrating on turning out women and his role in doing that for Kay Hagan. So even if Clay doesn’t win – he’s running a tremendously positive race that could help tip the scales in the Senate race. I’m all about Clay Aiken for Congress!
