| Info | Elected to the California Assembly from the 58th District in a November 10, 1953 special election, and re-elected in 1954, 1956, 1958, and 1960.
Joseph Claude Shell, Sr. was an American oil producer and lobbyist who represented District 58 (West Los Angeles - the Wilshire area) in the California State Assembly from 1953-1963. In the latter term he was the Assembly Republican Minority Leader.[1] The conservative Shell is best remembered for having unsuccessfully opposed the more moderate candidate, Richard Nixon, in the primary election for Governor of California held on June 5, 1962. Shell, however, contended that Nixon actually opposed him, for Shell had been committed to the governor's race for a year before Nixon's own entry. Shell is also remembered for his work in the early 1960s in locating additional water sources to sustain the growth of California in the future.
