Clown for Congress
I'm running as a Clown for Congress because I want folks to take me seriously as a politician.
David John McDairmant is running in the Republican primary to represent the NY 24th Congressional District in the US House of Representatives. John represents an unconventional Republican voice — pro-labor, pro-union, and committed to practical immigration reform.
McDairmant embraces the idea of the clown not as a gimmick, but as a symbol — a reminder that throughout history, societies relied on truth-tellers who used humor to challenge power, expose absurdity, and reconnect people to common sense.
