Campaign themes
2012
Cox's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Jobs
- Excerpt: "Arizona has struggled to keep and create jobs during the Great Recession, but our state has the potential to lead the nation in job creation over the coming decades. Whether it is in engineering, alternative energies, biotechnologies, optics, or other markets, we must have a bold new vision for jobs in Arizona."
- Education
- Excerpt: "If there’s anything that Arizonans can agree on, it’s that every Arizonan should have an equal right to a quality education. And yet, one of the biggest threats to the future of Arizona is the continued lack of investment in education at all levels. We must have a bold new vision for education in Arizona to ensure our children and state prosper in the future. "
- Good Government
- Excerpt: "The need for decisive action, fresh ideas, and real solutions has never been more important. And yet, the state legislature has chosen to advance extremist agendas over common sense solutions to the obstacles we Arizonans face. It’s time for a bold new vision of good government."
