Susan Shelley was a 2014 Republican candidate for District 45 of the California State Assembly. She ran unsuccessfully for the same seat in a 2013 special election.

Campaign themes

2014

Shelley's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]

Protect Proposition 13

  • Excerpt: "Don't lose your home to higher property taxes."

Affordable Energy and Water

  • Excerpt: "Reckless laws and wasteful policies are driving up your energy and water bills"

Cancel the Bullet Train

  • Excerpt: "At a time when California's budget is already $340 billion in the red, with so many infrastructure needs unmet, with so many pressures to pay for education and health care, we don't need or want a bullet train."

Jobs and the Economy

  • Excerpt: "We should be viewing our state's economic stagnation as an emergency, and our state government should be doing everything possible to help businesses grow in California. That's where jobs will be found, and that's also what will generate the tax revenue to pay for the vital social safety net, education, and all our other public priorities."
