Raymond Wardingley
Raymond "Ray" G. Wardingley is an American perennial candidate who has many times, unsuccessfully, sought office in Chicago, Illinois. He is most famous for having been the Republican nominee in the 1995 Chicago mayoral election, and for having previously performed as a clown under the name "Spanky the Clown". The embarrassment that many in the Republican party felt about Wardingley having been their party's 1995 standard-bearer in the Chicago mayoral election has been cited as a reason that a Republican-led Illinois General Assembly and Republican governor passed into law legislation that made all subsequent Chicago mayoral elections nonpartisan. Early life Wardingley was born at Cook County Hospital on February 13, 1935, to Albert and Thelma Wardingley. He was the sixth child born of ten children. His family lived on the Southeast Side of Chicago and were poor. After his parents separated, he and a number of his siblings were sent to catholic orphanages. He attended Mendel and C ...
