Willie’s story is one that illustrates America’s greatness. In America, you can be born into a world of great adversity and diversity, but with hard work and passion, you can achieve success.

As a young child, Willie’s father was incarcerated. His mother, a high school dropout, worked 3 jobs, raising four children, couldn’t afford healthcare and died of Colon Cancer when Willie was six. His grandmother did an amazing job raising him and his siblings. At seventeen he joined the Marines, and became an aviation mechanic. It was during his twelve years in the Marines that he raised his oldest child by himself, fought and beat the same cancer that killed his mother.

Willie did something unique, he switched branches and joined the Army, where he became a helicopter, then airplane pilot. It was when he was stationed in Korea that he met his wife, Hoshumi. While in the Army, he earned a degree in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautic University, majoring in Aviation Safety and minoring in Airline Management. After 20 years of service, Willie retired from the military. He still had his passion for flying and decided to fly for a commercial freight company. That position took him away from his growing family too often, so he did what many of us dream of doing, he started his own trucking business!

Not one to sit at a desk, Willie drives one of his regional routes himself. He believes, this allows him to see the point of view the employee’s needs from a drivers’ point of view. This type of leadership will be an asset for CD33. This district is made up of hard workers that deserve a legislator that can relate and understands the needs of the people.

Willie and his wife, Hoshimi, with their four children know Texas is a great state and CD33 deserves a servant minded leader. As he has done with every challenge he’s faced, he will meet it with integrity and tenacity. Specifically, to CD33, Willie will not obstruct to economic growth this district desperately needs. He will work with the administration to continue policies that will provide a better tomorrow!

John Cox is a businessman, not a politician. He is the son of a Chicago public school teacher. John’s birth father abandoned the family when John was only three months old. Raising two boys as a single mom was challenging. The family struggled financially, moving to a small apartment in Prairie Shores on Chicago’s South Side. Several years after John’s father left, his mom got remarried to a postal worker. They moved to the suburbs and lived a reasonably comfortable lower-middle-class lifestyle. The Cox family shopped at discount stores, drove Volkswagens, and took one vacation a year.

John’s mom worked at Calumet High School, an almost exclusively African-American high school on Chicago’s South Side. He frequently went with her to school, particularly on his days off and in summer, which she often worked to earn extra pay. John Cox’s parents were union members and Democrats. He naturally grew up to be a Democrat as well. He had a political interest from an early age as a young boy, running around the house in a white shirt and tie reciting lines from the President Kennedy’s inaugural speech.
Cox graduated from H.L. Richards High School and then attended Moraine Valley Community College & University of Illinois Chicago Circle campus working his way through school, like many students today, he lived at home and commuted. Following college, Cox worked, attended, and then graduated from IIT Chicago Kent College of Law.
John worked as a CPA and then built his own business from scratch into a $200 million enterprise with almost 100 employees. He turned around a major food service manufacturing company, restored it to profitability and saved jobs. He is active in charitable organizations and serves as a Board member for the San Diego USO. John also founded an organization that repairs the homes of low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities. Since 1991, that organization has mobilized 20,000 volunteers and repaired over 1,000 homes.
John Cox is running for California Governor to take California back from the special interests that own the politicians in Sacramento. Those special interests and the politicians they bankroll have given us the highest income tax as well as the highest poverty rate in the nation. They have wrecked our once-proud school system, driven small business owners to relocate their business and jobs to other states, and utterly failed to build the water storage facilities we need to manage California’s abundant water supplies.
John has four daughters and lives with his wife Sarah in San Diego where they are active in and attend Nativity Catholic Church.
