Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Beyond her work as a lawyer and tech entrepreneur, Shanahan invests in scientific research, reproductive longevity and equality, sometimes by way of her Bia-Echo Foundation.
47% : A spokesman for the Federal Election Commission told Newsweek that personal funds are not subject to limitations as long as a candidate doesn't take public funding, which none of the 2024 candidates have done.
39% : She also serves as founder and CEO of ClearAccessIP, a patent analytics company involved in artificial intelligence, giving her an expertise that she'll leverage "to detect government corruption," according to a social-media post from Amaryllis Fox, Kennedy's campaign director and daughter-in-law.
34% : Kennedy, who is polling third behind Biden and Trump, told Newsweek that his inner circle of 17 people had been referring to Shanahan, whose dad is of Irish-German decent, by her code name, "The Irishman," to avoid leaks, though her name as a serious contender surfaced a few weeks ago.
