Ralph Nader Announces Running Mate
Ralph Nader announced on Sunday, he was running for President. Now on Wednesday, Nader held a press conference to announce that his running mate will be Matt Gonzalez of San Francisco, California. Gonzalez was a public defender and a member of the board of supervisors of San Francisco. Gonzalez stated that he shares political views with Ralph Nader. Matt Gonzalez is 42, and attended Columbia University and the Stanford Law School.
Ralph Nader has selected a former San Francisco city official as his running mate in the presidential race.
Nader announced his selection of Matt Gonzalez, who served as a public defender and a member of the board of supervisors in San Francisco, at a news conference Wednesday.
“It is an honor to run with Mr. Nader,” Gonzalez said. “I hold him in high esteem and share his politics.”
Gonzalez said his priorities in the campaign are election reform, poverty and the war in Iraq.
“I find Matt Gonzalez unwavering in his principles,” Nader said.
He announced Sunday that he will launch his fourth consecutive White House bid — fifth if his 1992 write-in campaign is included.
Many Democrats fear Nader could draw votes from whoever gets the party’s nomination, potentially helping presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain win the White House in November. Nader has long rejected accusations that he served as a spoiler in 2000, in effect helping George W. Bush beat out Al Gore.
