Who is John Cox?

John Cox grew up poor, with a single mother who idolized JFK. He’d go on to be worth more than $200 million and is now running for California governor as a Republican.  

Cox is pushing a ballot proposal to change the way Californians are represented in Sacramento.

In this in depth conversation with Elex Michaelson, Cox shares his views on California’s gas tax, immigration, healthcare, housing, and more.

He also describes how he believes Republicans can begin to win again statewide in California.

Cox explains his business success and how his kids have changed his perspective.

After the conversation with Mr. Cox, USC's Dan Schnur analyzes Cox's strengths and weaknesses as a candidate.
