But the bipartisan enterprise is stacked with Obama administration alumni: former senior aide Valerie Jarrett is president of the board and former first lady chief of staff Tina Tchen is treasurer, according toPolitico.

It kicked off on Thursday with a splashy video that featured Obama enlisting her celebrity pals - like actor Tom Hanks and 'Hamilton' creator Lin-Manuel Miranda - to the cause.
All three are co-chairs of the campaign, as are singer Janelle Monáe, basketball player Chris Paul, and country stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, all of whom are featured in the video.
