    Strategically, it’s a good move. Young, female, wealthy, from California, diverse ethnicity.

    Only drawbacks I see is that she used to be married to Sergey Brin, and is currently… “handfasted” to some Bitcoin dude. People will hammer her for that.

    But sponsoring the Center for Female Reproductive Longevity and Equality is a good look.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a wealthy California attorney as the running mate for his independent presidential campaign, a necessary step as he tries to get on state ballots for November.

    Nicole Shanahan, 38, is the president and director of the Bia-Echo Foundation, a charitable organization that says it focuses its investments in “Reproductive Longevity & Equality, Criminal Justice Reform and a Healthy and Livable Planet.”

    Kennedy, whose independent candidacy has drawn concern from both Democrats and Republicans for potentially drawing support away from the two major parties, announced the running mate pick Tuesday in Oakland.

    “And I’m grateful that Nicole has put her self-interest aside and made the momentous and very, very difficult decision to embark with me on this extraordinary crusade to win back our country.”

    At the Oakland event Tuesday, Shanahan said her background in tech and passion tackling the rise in chronic disease are some of the attributes that will guide her role in Kennedy’s campaign.

    So far, the campaign and the supporting super PAC say Kennedy has enough signatures to qualify for ballots in several states, including the battlegrounds of Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and Michigan.
