WHY I'M RUNNING
I’m running because I refuse to accept a future where our children can’t afford homes in their hometown, our coastline is industrialized in the name of flawed green policies, and parents are pushed out of their children’s education. We deserve better, and I intend to fight for it.
Freedom. Family, and Future.
My Platform
Homeownership for Every Generation
I will fight for policies that allow young families and longtime residents to buy homes without leaving their communities. I believe California’s future depends on restoring affordability and opportunity.
Protecting Our Coastline from Industrial “Greenwashing”
I believe in smart, responsible renewable energy. But some projects, like poorly-sited offshore wind farms, threaten our precious wildlife and coastal beauty. And while we need energy storage, we must avoid toxic battery projects that pose risks to our communities. Renewables don't get a pass to pollute or harm our environment.
Reducing Regulations to Support Businesses
With firsthand experience as a small business owner, I know that overregulation stifles growth. I will champion policies that unleash local entrepreneurs and attract jobs to the region.
Championing School Choice and Parental Rights
Parents—not bureaucrats—should decide how and where their children are educated. I support expanding school choice and protecting parental involvement at every level.
Secure Border and Law and Order
I support law-enforcement as a member of a law-enforcement family.

Investment in Small Businesses
Reducing Regulations to Support Businesses
With firsthand experience as a small business owner, Shannon knows that overregulation stifles growth. She will champion policies that unleash local entrepreneurs and attract regional jobs.
School Choice/ Parental rights
Parents—not bureaucrats—should decide how and where their children are educated. Home School, charter school, or public school, all students deserve a decent education, not indoctrination.
Protecting women's sports is a commitment I stand by, ensuring fair play and equal opportunities for all athletes.
Shannon is the founder of Save Girls’ Sports Central Coast, where she has become a leading voice against the forced inclusion of biological males in female sports, locker rooms, and restrooms. Her speeches at local and state-level school boards—and viral social media videos—have made her a national advocate for fairness and safety for girls.
She also founded Culture Impact, a grassroots organization that teaches Constitution classes and empowers citizens to vote, self-educate, run for office, and speak up at school board meetings and city councils across California.
Kessler currently serves on the San Luis Obispo County Republican Central Committee and is active on the Pismo Coast Association of Realtors’ Local Government Relations and MLS committees. She is a Pepperdine School of Public Policy certificate holder, licensed real estate broker, and co-owner of Kessler Construction, a family-run business with her husband and son.
Happily married for 37 years, Shannon and her husband enjoy surfing and hiking with their adult children along the scenic Central Coast they proudly call home.
“I am not a career politician—I am a mother, business owner, and member of a 6th-generation California family who is ready to serve,” said Kessler. “This campaign isn’t about me—it’s about restoring common sense and protecting the future for all Californians.”
