John Cox, a businessman from northern Illinois, aligns himself with Reagan Republicans. Therefore, he tends to favor such things as a missile defense shield, a ban on partial-birth abortions, and cutting taxes. He doesn’t have support from the GOP establishment, hasn’t gone into any great depth regarding his campaign issues, and claims as one of his greatest accomplishments rescuing the Jays Potato Chip company.
