Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate for the United States Presidency, made the announcement on Tuesday that he has chosen a Silicon Valley lawyer as his running mate for his bid for the White House this year. This pairing marks a significant stride in Kennedy’s campaign, adding legal heft and a strong connection to the closely-watched technology hub of Silicon Valley to his ticket.
As an experienced environmental lawyer and staunch advocate for vaccine safety, Kennedy’s unique perspective could potentially provide a refreshing change of pace in a race that often hinges on lifetime politicians. With this choice of a Silicon Valley lawyer as his running mate, Kennedy is signaling his campaign’s focus and understanding of the significant role that technology, and its regulation, play in our lives today.
This step by Kennedy and his team is a longshot bid for the White House. A more detailed report can be found on Law360.com.
