Timeline

1955

Kevin Francis Shelley (born November 16, 1955) is an American politician, who was the 28th California Secretary of State from January 6, 2003, until his resignation on March 4, 2005.

Shelley was raised in San Francisco, the only son in a family of five.

His father, Jack Shelley, was a State Senator, member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Mayor of San Francisco.

1973

Shelley graduated from St. Ignatius College Preparatory in 1973.

He received his B.A. in political science from the University of California, Davis.

He obtained his J.D. from University of California, Hastings College of the Law.

He joined the staff of Congressman Phillip Burton and continued in his position when Sala Burton assumed her husband's seat after his death.

1990

In 1990, Shelley was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

1996

In 1996, he won a seat in the California State Assembly.

He wrote clinic protection ordinances and sunshine laws to make government more accountable.

He authored the Marine Life Protection Act that protects coastal ecosystems, the California Nursing Home Reform Act to protect the elderly, and the Healthy Schools Act to protect children from pesticides.

He created a voting reform package that includes a Voters' Bill of Rights and allows each voter to permanently vote by mail.

2002

Term limits prevented Shelley from seeking a fourth term as an Assemblyman in 2002, so he sought election as California's Secretary of State, the state's chief elections official.

Within weeks of taking office as Secretary of State, petitions were filed to recall Governor Gray Davis, a fellow Democrat.

2003

Six months after taking office, Shelley had to certify that there were enough signatures on these petitions to mandate the 2003 gubernatorial recall election, the first such election in state history.

As Secretary of State, Shelley was responsible for overseeing that statewide special election.

Shelley was generally credited with good work on his handling of the 2003 recall election and on his handling of the controversy over the verifiability of electronic voting machines.

He was the first state election official to decertify DRE voting machine systems already in use, to require all DRE voting machine systems to contain an accessible paper copy of a person's vote, and to adopt standards and security measures for such systems.

He initiated an investigation into electronic voting machine manufacturer Diebold Election Systems (now Premier Election Solutions), and at the conclusion of the investigation, requested that then-State Attorney General Bill Lockyer investigate Diebold for criminal fraud.

A number of former staffers and other associates came forward and accused Shelley of abusive behavior toward his staff.

Other accusations surfaced charging Shelley had received allegedly laundered campaign funds during his race for Secretary of State.

Shelley maintained that he did not know that the funds were illicitly transferred to his campaign treasury.

(After an investigation, then-state Attorney General Bill Lockyer publicly exonerated Shelley, saying he was innocent of any wrongdoing in connection with the case.)

2004

On October 29, 2004, Shelley replaced three of his top aides, including the assistant state secretary of communications, with veteran civil servants, in an effort to bring more accountability to his office.

2005

Shelley announced his resignation on February 4, 2005, effective March 1, although he did not leave office until three days later, on March 4.

Chief Deputy Secretary of State Cathy Mitchell briefly served as Secretary of State until Bruce McPherson, a Republican, was appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

California State Bar records indicate Shelley resumed practicing law in April 2005.

2006

Upon taking office, McPherson reversed Shelley's actions, and on March 10, 2006, McPherson certified the use of DRE voting machines without verifiable, auditable paper trails.
