Kwan worked as a surrogate to Hillary Clinton's [[Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign|2016 presidential campaign]] as an outreach coordinator.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hillary for America-Organization and Staff of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign|url=http://www.p2016.org/clinton/clintonorg.html|access-date=September 8, 2016|website=www.p2016.org|archive-date=September 6, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160906113438/http://www.p2016.org/clinton/clintonorg.html|url-status=live}}</ref> When asked why she decided to join the campaign she explained, "There was no way that I could sit on the sidelines."<ref name="nymag.com">{{Cite web|url=https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/08/michelle-kwan-is-working-for-hillary-clinton.html|title=Michelle Kwan Is Working for Hillary Clinton|first=Marin|last=Cogan|website=Nymag.com|date=August 28, 2016|access-date=February 15, 2022|archive-date=July 7, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220707172207/https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/08/michelle-kwan-is-working-for-hillary-clinton.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

She added that, for her, supporting Clinton was a no-brainer, given her family's own immigrant history. "Every day I'm reminded about my personal story, about what's at stake in these elections. I think of my parents, and as I look around the room, we probably share similar stories, of how our parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents might have immigrated to the U.S. It's so the next generation of Americans have the ability to dream that dream."<ref name="nymag.com" />
