Picks for State Offices
Los Angeles Times, Oct 16 2002
Secretary of State
Incumbent Bill Jones has been one of the best secretaries of state in modern
times. He was termed out of office, however. As his successor, The Times
endorses Kevin Shelley of San Francisco, who has been in the Assembly since
1996. Shelley, who was Assembly majority leader, has sponsored legislation
to improve the state's voting system and was the author of a bond issue to
help counties pay for new voting machines.
Shelley gets the nod over former Assemblyman Keith Olberg of Victorville,
who has some good ideas about improving voter participation but had an undistinguished
record during his six years in the Legislature.
