By most accounts, Hillary Clinton's campaign isn't (yet) on thin ice. But should things need a boost, the former secretary of state and first lady will have some help from former Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan.
Kwan is set to join the Clinton campaign to work on outreach efforts ahead of the campaign's formal kickoff rally Saturday, The New York Times reports. Kwan will reportedly work with campaign surrogates to help promote issues important to working families.
This isn't Kwan's first foray into politics: The 34-year-old known for landing perfect triple toe loops also worked as a public diplomacy envoy in Clinton's State Department. We'll see if the judges give her political efforts a 10.
