DAVID COX
Independent candidate for U.S. Congress, Wisconsin's 7th District. A dual-service Army and Navy veteran with combat experience in Operation Desert Storm — bringing a rare cross-branch perspective and a common-sense voice for a divided electorate, answerable to voters, not the party bosses.
Operational Background
The Case for Independence
"Our representatives in Congress need to represent us, not kiss the ring and do what we are told. Only multiple people with no ties to either party can provide a common-sense voice for voters."
The Core Problem
"Our representatives need to represent us, not kiss the ring and do what we are told."

Where He Stands
Priorities for Wisconsin's 7th District
National Security
Stability-first frameworks and veteran-led defense de-escalation, informed by cross-branch service and combat experience.
Government Reform
Reducing federal bureaucracy and institutional size to restore local agency and put a common-sense voice back in the room.
VA Advocacy
Championing comprehensive healthcare reforms for active-duty members and the veterans Washington keeps forgetting.
The Race
Why It Matters
-
Real representation for Wisconsin's 7th — answerable to voters, not either party machine.
-
A dual-service Army and Navy combat veteran's cross-branch judgment in Congress.
-
An independent free of both parties — a common-sense voice for a divided electorate.
The Opportunity
Wisconsin's 7th is an open seat following the incumbent's gubernatorial run — a rare opening in a district long held within the two-party system. David offers the 7th a veteran-led independent alternative to the same partisan field.
