Idahoans for John Cox

Statement of Republican Candidate for President John Cox:

“I am saddened to learn of the death of President Gerald Ford.

Pres. Ford restored dignity to the White House, and calmed our nation during a tumultuous era in our history.

With his words of trust, hope and healing, Gerald Ford was the right president at the right time, and guided us safely out of the troubled waters of the Watergate and Vietnam eras.

His administration was one of integrity, honesty and fairness to all. Knowing that he was the only president not to have been elected to the position by the people, he was gracious in governing, but remained steadfast and true to his principles.

Gerald Ford became truly what he had promised he would be when he took office, “the President of all the people.”

We are enormously grateful to have had him as our president, and we mourn his passing.”
