Cox said he has military and law enforcement experience. He said he has experience in business and budgeting.

“I am not one of those who participate in the political scene now. I look at things from the outside, trying to do what is best for citizens and will help improve the situation. My wife and I are also small business owners in the District, so we are interested in helping D.C. improve the situation. We have seen things that we feel are holding us back as a county and we want to do everything we can to help improve the county and the services we currently have there,” he said. .

Cox said D.C. residents want new jobs, new businesses and better government services — and he wants to be a part of it.

If elected, he said he would be a “full-time” commissioner. Cox said he will be there for people and will come out and talk to them. He would also like to hold commissioner meetings at a time when workers can attend.

Cox said he believes the biggest issue if elected will be economic development. He wants to make D.C. attractive to outside businesses.
