The Magnificent Seven
Clay Pell (D), the 32-year-old grandson of a six-term U.S. senator — and husband of former Olympic figure-skater Michelle Kwan — is running for governor of Rhode Island, the Providence Journal reports.
“A newcomer to Rhode Island politics, Pell faces two of the rising stars in the state Democratic Party in the September 2014 primary: Gen. Treas. Gina Raimondo, 42, and Providence Mayor Angel Taveras, 43. Both have political resumes and million-dollar campaign funds.”
