According to The Fayobsever.com, Clay Aiken will be in Cumberland County, North Carolina today. The site posted the following on Sunday, July 20th:
Clay Aiken of Cary, the Democratic challenger to Republican U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers of Dunn for the 2nd District seat, is scheduled to speak at Tuesday’s 12:30 luncheon meeting of theCumberland County Democratic Men’s Club at Luigi’s. Members pay $9 for lunch; nonmembers pay $18. Also, 2014 membership dues of $60 are due.
I wish I could hear Clay speak at this meeting. I would imagine that his presentation will be filled with facts and information about how he can help the people of Cumberland County. I do hope that someone will take some pictures and report about what Clay had to say.
This is not the first time that Clay has visited with the residents of Cumberland County. He spent a day with the military and their families, he met with the UFCW union, he had fun at the Dogwood Festival, and even participated in a parade! And these are only the events we know about. I have a feeling Clay feels at home with the people of Cumberland County.

While looking at You Tube on Monday, I ran across a wonderful video of Candidate, Clay Aiken. Back on April 30, 2014, Clay participated in a wonderful interview on the HuffPost Live. I know I watched it when it was new, but it is still an excellent peek at Candidate Clay Aiken. He seems relaxed, knowledgable, articulate, and ready to make a difference. It is less than 6 minutes long and should be watched by everyone.
I hope you will check back today to see if we get some news on Clay’s speech in Cumberland County.
I will put up any pictures or information as ion as it becomes available.
