Aiken detailed his experience as a special education teacher and his years spent working with UNICEF in places like Afghanistan and Somalia.

Aiken also played up his bi-partisan experience, saying that while he is a Democrat, he was appointed by President George W. Bush to a special presidential commission on special education. "...That was when I first realized that our problems won't be solved by only one party or the other. Instead, it's going to require all of us," Aiken says in the video.
