| Description | Throughout his campaign for governor, Republican John Cox and his allies have criticized Democratic opponents for affairs they had while in office, condemning their behavior as potentially attracting harmful exposure. He’s said voters should “judge someone based upon what they’ve done in the past.” But Cox has also faced accusations of marital infidelity, KQED and KPCC have learned.
Mr. Cox’s first wife, Nancy Cox, stated in a court filing that she discovered a home that she claimed he purchased to support another woman and her family while the two were still married.
“I’m not interested in gutter politics,” Mr. Cox said when asked about the alleged affair. “I was separated from my wife. That’s all been resolved.”
Newsom admitted in 2007 to an affair with his appointments secretary, who also was married to his campaign manager. At the time, Newsom was separated from his first wife. |
