Branson, MO, October 6, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​Herkimer Presley is continuing his run as a write-in candidate for President of the United States, his 14th consecutive campaign since 1964. As a founding member of Presleys' Theatre and one of Branson’s original comedians, Herkimer is reaching out to voters with a viral campaign video that has been viewed over 35,000 times in just 24 hours. According to Cecil, “You’ve got Trump and Clinton debatin’ around, but vote for Herk and get a real clown!”

Herkimer’s son and comedic sidekick Cecil has been announced as his running mate, and together they are continuing a tradition that began when Lyndon Johnson faced off against Barry Goldwater over 50 years ago. A few things have changed since then, including Herkimer’s custom designed Segway podium that has been making people laugh all season long.

You've got Trump and Clinton debatin' around, but vote for Herk and get a real clown!
