Reminder that this is the same person who attempted to publicly shame[1] Jeremy Guillory out of fighting for his fair share during GM's acquisition of Cruise. This attempt failed, and Cruise ended up having to publicly acknowledge the opposite:

"As part of the settlement, Cruise and its founder Kyle Vogt now acknowledge that Guillory was a cofounder of the company."[2]

On top of that, Sam's post originally included the statement "it’s important to the way Silicon Valley works that such behavior not be tolerated" in reference to Guillory fighting for his recognition, which he later removed.[3]

This is not someone I would support for any sort of public office.

EDIT: He's not above criticism, folks. If you disagree with me, how about replying and explaining instead of down-voting?

Not only is this submission flagged, it is also almost a day old (kinda old by HN standards), but you still felt the need to show up and link to what the public sources say. You have no insider knowledge, and the chances of the publicly known story being accurate are pretty slim. Seems pretty low to me. I almost DV'd you until I saw someone else already did, so I figured I would try providing feedback (I hate drive-by DVs).

The facts are very clear-cut and I provided sources.

> the chances of the publicly known story being accurate are pretty slim

That's empty speculation. If that's the only defense for his actions then there isn't any.

It's going to take a lot more than that to convince people to vote for him.
