Stein's "running-mate" is a member of my department (UCSB History). It's an absolutely maddening situation, not least being that this person continues to be paid by UC while "running" for office.

That’s an interesting trick. I’ve thought of running for office before, but am not allowed to run for anything party-based while an employee of a public university in my state.

Parents are both UCSB graduates so this is disappointing to say the least
