| Info | Grew up in Jacksonville in a family dedicated to public service. My father, A. C. Shelton, was a Jacksonville City Councilman, served as Calhoun County Superintendent of Education, and was State Senator for our county for 3 terms; he was also a JSU administrator, an insurance executive and cattle farmer. My mother, Mary Pullen Shelton, was a stalwart at First United Methodist Church and was a teacher and city librarian for many years in Jacksonville. My parents set high standards of public service for me-if I don't do a good job I let them down-I promise that's not going to happen!
I attended Jacksonville City Schools and graduated from Anniston High School. I attended Jacksonville State University and graduated from the University of North Carolina in Political Science and Economics. I also did graduate work at Jacksonville State in Political Science. After school I volunteered for the U. S. Marines and went from private to Captain, serving state-side and overseas during the Korean War. As a Marine, I learned many lessons in commitment, dedication to duty and the necessity of cooperation to accomplish goals. My working career has been in insurance, real estate, construction and development, a nursing home, investments and pawn brokerage.
In my previous service in the State House, I passed legislation that had an important impact on our county and state, creating jobs in Calhoun County and state-wide. If you elect me, I promise you will not be disappointed you will not be able to say "he ain't done nothing" like I hear about my opponent. I will not be an indecisive failure as your legislator, trying to flip-flop between the political parties, not being able to cooperate to get things done. If you want to reward lousy performance then you need to vote for my opponent. If I had not done a good job when I was in before. I wouldn't have the nerve to ask for your vote. My opponent has passed no significant legislation and has the reputation of not even showing up for the meetings. Let's work together to get things done for our county!
