Independent Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Picks Nicole Shanahan as Running Mate
Tech Entrepreneur and Lawyer to Join Kennedy on Presidential Ticket
Kennedy, the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, made the announcement on Thursday. Shanahan, a California lawyer and philanthropist, has never held elected office.
In a statement, Kennedy praised Shanahan's "intelligence, experience, and commitment to public service." He said that she would be a "valuable asset" to his campaign.
Shanahan is a graduate of Stanford University and Yale Law School. She worked as a lawyer at several Silicon Valley law firms before co-founding a legal technology company. She is also the founder of the Bia-Echo Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports women's health and environmental causes.
Kennedy's announcement comes as he is facing an uphill battle in the presidential race. He is currently polling at less than 1% in national polls. However, he hopes that Shanahan's addition to the ticket will help him gain traction with voters.
The Kennedy-Shanahan ticket will face off against the Democratic ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and Mike Pence in the November election.
