fayobserver.com – 2nd District candidate Clay Aiken makes campaign stop at Fayetteville Technical Community College
Clay Aiken on Thursday continued his campaign for the 2nd Congressional District seat with a visit to Fayetteville Technical Community College.
Aiken joined FTCC President Larry Keen and veterans services coordinator Matt Thewes for a tour of the campus’ All American Veterans Center. While there, Aiken emphasized the need for the federal government to do a better job helping members of the military make the transition from active duty to civilian life, saying there is a gap in services for many veterans.“It’s like jumping over a river from bank to bank,” Aiken said, “and too many people have fallen in the water.”
The Democrat looking to unseat Harnett County Republican Renee Ellmers said he wanted to see firsthand how FTCC is working to ease the transition with its new center…
…Aiken said the program is a model for other community colleges across the country, particularly in military-heavy communities in the state.
“Fayetteville Tech is doing a lot of the work for the soldiers making that transition easier,” he said.
Aiken was scheduled to remain in Fayetteville Thursday evening for a fundraiser at SkyView on Hay…

Wow what a day!! I'm started to get worried for him though. I know he's young but he still needs to rest once in a while. He is doing such a wonderful job campaigning. GO CLAY! Of course I found Clay in the photo. Right in the center of the action, where he should be!
