 If you are voting for the California Governor on Tuesday, you probably know that John Cox is the Republican Party's gubernatorial candidate. But how well do you really know John Cox? Here are 5 things about John Cox that you might not know. Number 1. Cox used to be a Democrat. In 1976, John Cox ran to be a delegate to elect Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter for president. Number 2. He does not approve of capital punishment. Because of his Catholic faith, Cox does not believe in the death penalty. Number 3. He's all about transparency. Cox spent $1 million for the California is not for sale initiative, which would have required legislators to wear the logos of their top 10 donors like NASCAR drivers. Although the initiative received 250,000 signatures, it was still 100,000 signatures shy of reaching the ballot. Number 4. He didn't vote for Trump. In 2016, Cox voted for libertarian candidate Gary Johnson for president. He later called that decision a mistake. Number 5. He's from a Golden Bear family. Cox's mother got both her bachelor's and master's degrees at UC Berkeley. Cheyenne Lewis reporting for CalTV News.
