If at first you don’t succeed, try again eight years later.
Singer-songwriter Clay Aiken, best known for finishing second on “American Idol” nearly two decades ago, announced Monday that he would run for Congress as a Democrat for a second time after being soundly beaten in a 2014 House race.
In a video announcing his candidacy that was posted on his Twitter account, Aiken told potential voters that “these days, my life looks a lot more like yours than Justin Bieber’s, that I can promise you.”
“But one thing that’s never changed for me is how much I love my home state,” Aiken added. “North Carolina is the place that I discovered first that I have a voice and that it was a voice that could be used for more than singing.”
