Tech Entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan Named as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s VP Pick

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a significant announcement in Oakland, revealing that tech entrepreneur and attorney Nicole Shanahan from the San Francisco Bay Area will be his running mate for the upcoming election.

As Kennedy faces the challenge of meeting ballot access requirements, he has been polling promisingly in pivotal states such as Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Among the list of potential VP candidates, Kennedy ultimately selected Shanahan, who had contributed to his campaign and is deeply involved in philanthropy and technology ventures.

Shanahan’s background includes founding ClearAccessIP, being linked to major tech figures like Sergey Brin and Elon Musk, and running the Bia-Echo Foundation dedicated to various causes.

Her foundation’s initiatives align with Kennedy’s advocacy on issues such as children’s health, the environment, and vaccine concerns, a topic he has championed through his organization Children's Health Defense.

The event where Kennedy introduced Shanahan featured speakers like Del Bigtree, Jay Bhattacharya, and Angela Stanton-King, igniting further interest in the candidate’s platform.
