Clay Aiken to run for Congress in North Carolina
Former "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken is running for Congress in North Carolina.

The singer said Wednesday he'll seek the Democratic nomination for the seat held by Republican Congresswoman Renee Ellmers.

The 35-year-old Aiken is expected to face two opponents in the Democratic primary.

Aiken has been a special education teacher. He says he decided to put his entertainment career on hold and seek to represent the state's 2nd Congressional District.

He says he considers Washington to be dysfunctional and will focus on jobs and the economy and the importance of education.

Ellmers narrowly captured the seat from a Democrat in 2010. Her district was later redrawn and is now considered by analysts to be safely Republican, but she faces a primary challenge from a conservative radio host.
