Canidate Spotlight: Mike Cox


Michigan's Attorney General '03-'09

A Republican with name recognition who has built a career on...well we don't know. He is new to my public mind and few of us really know his positions, outside of being a conservative. He needs to take a page out of John Cherry's book and campaign so hard that he will make Devos look like a PTA president candidate.

From his Michigan.gov page:

Born in 1961, Mike Cox graduated from Detroit's Catholic Central High School and entered the Marines. After graduating from the University of Michigan Law School in 1989, he went on to work in the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office in Detroit. Cox prosecuted organized crime cases ranging from public corruption to drug and gang-related homicides. In addition to hundreds of bench trials, he tried more than 125 jury trials, with a conviction rate in excess of 90 percent. In 2000, Cox was appointed Director of the Wayne County Prosecutor's Homicide Unit, which prosecuted approximately two-thirds of all homicides in Michigan
