On Sunday, Cox sat down with OAN to make his case for how his experience gives him a fresh perspective for the Golden State.<\/p>\n<p>Cox\u2019s first bout with Newsom came in 2018 when he ran on a platform to clean out Sacramento and reduce the cost of living for residents. He claims he garnered the highest number of votes ever for a Republican candidate in California except former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Cox has been setting up for a potential run in 2022, but decided to jump in when the <a href=\"https:\/\/recallgavin2020.com\/\">Recall Gavin 2020 petition<\/a> began to gain traction.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Cox believes Californians are ready to breakaway from traditional politicians and look for candidates who will solve California\u2019s problems. He highlighted residents\u2019 frustration with Newsom\u2019s response to the coronavirus pandemic, which is plagued with slow vaccine rollout and a spiraling economy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">over the past 25 years;<\/p>\n<p>*Earned more Republican, Independent and Democrat votes;<\/p>\n<p>*Solutions driven, results focused;<\/p>\n<p>Join our movement to give California a fresh start \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oNjIVl0RmM\">https:\/\/t.co\/oNjIVl0RmM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 JohnHCox (@TheRealJohnHCox) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheRealJohnHCox\/status\/1360614477624823809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, recall organizers are touting their ongoing efforts as they have reached the 1.5 million signature threshold to trigger a special election.
