Politics
Claybourn, named one of the 250 most influential leaders in Indiana, often serves as a political advisor.[17] He was cited as a "key supporter" of Congressman Larry Bucshon of Indiana's 8th congressional district and was a principal adviser to Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke's campaign and was a part of Winnecke's 2012 transition team.[3][18]
In 2016, Claybourn was selected as an Indiana delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention, but a day after Donald Trump's win in the Indiana primary which made Trump the party's presumptive nominee, Claybourn was one of the first to resign his position as a delegate because he "could not in good conscience attend a coronation and celebration of Donald Trump".[19][20][21][22] The New York Times noted Claybourn would have been bound to vote for Trump on the first ballot.[21]
