In the latter term he was the Assembly [[Republican Party|Republican]] Minority Leader.<ref>http://www.eyeoutforyou.com/news/local/17370404.html</ref> 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.<ref name=human>{{cite web|url=http://humanevents.com/2008/04/21/gizzi-on-politics-april-2125/|title=Gizzi on Politics|publisher=''Human Events''|date=April 21, 2008|author=[[John Gizzi]]|accessdate=May 13, 2018}}</ref>
