Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) has made her pick for this season’s “Dancing with the Stars,” and her choice is off to an impressive start.

The GOP lawmaker took to the House floor Tuesday to wish Olympic gold-medal figure skater Evan Lysacek good luck on the popular dancing show, and to congratulate him for his win in Vancouver.

Lysacek started skating as a kid in Naperville, Ill., which is located in Biggert’s district.

The skater’s smooth moves on the ice appear to be paying off on the dance floor, where he came in second place on Monday’s season premiere. Astronaut and GOP supporter Buzz Aldrin, 80, came in last.
