上周四，两届奥运奖牌获得者和五届花样滑冰世界冠军关颖珊宣布已加入Joe Biden的总统竞选团队，她预计将担任代理主任的职位。Kwan此前曾以同样的身份为前民主党总统候选人Hillary Clinton工作过。

她的工作任务包括代表竞选人在集会和其他活动上发言，并需要与许多官员，政策制定者和名人创建良好的关系，同时在麦克风和摄像机前面受访。

对此，Adrienne Elrod表示“她为拜登的团队带来了很多名人的关系，而这可能是他的团队本来没有的。”

关颖珊在竞选活动中加入了核心的圈子，这里有拜登在参议院的长年支持者，以及来自奥巴马和克林顿竞选团队的前工作人员。

对此，关颖珊在自己的ins上写道，“拜登是我心中支持和最理想的候选人。我相信他是团结美国的理想人选。”

I'm thrilled that @joebiden announced that he’s running for President! I know that there is already a field of incredible democratic candidates and the 2020 election is so important we cannot lose sight of the big picture. Ultimately, I believe that the Vice President is the ideal candidate to unify our country with his experience, knowledge and track record of fighting for Americans. He has worked side by side with @barackobama to pass the Affordable Care Act, which expanded health insurance to 20 million people and protected people with pre-existing conditions. He championed marriage equality and remains at the forefront of ensuring LGBTQ rights. He has tackled climate change and pollution to protect our environment. He has earned the respect of the international community and, through his leadership, he will strengthen our relationships with our allies and stand up to meet rising global challenges. Most importantly, VP Biden has a reputation for getting things done - from implementing the most comprehensive and progressive investments in our nation’s infrastructure and clean energy industries, to writing the Violence Against Women Act, to taking on the the NRA and winning (twice!). He’s the candidate that I’m proud to support because he will do what it takes to restore the soul of this nation, rebuild the backbone of the country, and unify America.
