\u201cOur values didn\u2019t change, but the Democratic Party did,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alittle bit about Shanahan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shanahan, 38, was born in Oakland to a Chinese immigrant mother and a father who suffered from mental illness. In an essay\u00a0published\u00a0by People last year, Shanahan wrote that she, as a child, learned that \u201cbad things happen, injustice happens, but there are always tools for overcoming them, it\u2019s a matter of relentless commitment to oneself. I will never stop seeking self-actualization for myself, my family, and for the communities I serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with\u00a0Puck\u00a0published in 2022, Shanahan said her mother came to the United States through family sponsorship and worked as a maid to make ends meet. Shanahan has said that she grew up on welfare, and she told Puck that she \u201cnever felt poor\u201d growing up \u201cbecause I believed the safety nets we had in the \u201990s were actually quite good. I lived off them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI survived off them, and dare I say I felt I had the opportunity to thrive,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Per her LinkedIn page, she received her bachelor\u2019s degree from the University of Puget Sound and her law degree from Santa Clara University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From 2018 to 2023, Shanahan was married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The two share a daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, Shanahan \u201ccommitted\u201d to her partner, Jacob Strumwasser, who formerly worked on Wall Street and is now an adviser at a bitcoin engineering firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the essay for People, Shanahan said she spends most of her time \u201cworking for climate solutions, social justice, and women\u2019s reproductive science,\u201d as well as focusing on autism research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAbout two years ago our daughter was diagnosed with autism, and by virtue of that diagnosis I have a new cause to focus attention on (as has been typical of my experiences, I rarely seek out causes to support, they find me),\u201d she wrote in the essay. \u201c\u2026 I\u2019ve been working with researchers to understand the variations in autism, the biological markers that might help us diagnose autism earlier, and even what causes autism. It is amazing what we\u2019re learning, and we are already seeing overlaps with the work occurring in reproductive longevity, climate, and social justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
