Executive Vice President

Shelton King Jr.

Shelton King Jr. is a fourth-year political science major with a passion for constitutional law. Motivated by the far-reaching impact of local and federal policies on the people of the United States, he is committed to holding unjust systems accountable and driving positive change.

Raised in Compton by a hardworking single mother, Shelton was instilled with the values of community, perseverance, service and selflessness. These principles, along with witnessing his mother raise himself and his three younger sisters, shaped his deep-rooted desire to support others and to become involved in any way he could. From volunteering at his church, to helping his fellow students in need, Shelton constantly pursues opportunities that put him in a position to help others.

Shelton’s college journey began in Baltimore, where he studied electrical engineering and honed essential skills in leadership, conflict resolution and collaboration. After transferring to Long Beach State, he quickly found a sense of belonging on campus and saw the community as family—one he is dedicated to supporting. His drive to serve led him to run for Executive Vice President, with the goal of tackling real student concerns like parking, increased aid for low-income students, modernizing outdated campus systems and advocating for transformative projects like Future U.
