Mr. Ainge may be going to Washington.
Tanner Ainge, the son of Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge, announced on Monday that he has filed paperwork to run for a House of Representatives seat in Utah’s 3rd Congressional District.
Thanks to so many for the encouragement. After taking the weekend to contemplate, today I filed the paperwork to run. #aingeforcongress https://t.co/SWS5XjaxPj

The elder Ainge also tweeted out his well wishes.

The Ainge family has some ties to Utah — you may remember that Danny first made a name for himself during his four-year career at Brigham Young University. Now the only question is where we can buy the campaign towels.
