==Early Awareness of the Libertarian Party==
Cox first learned about The Libertarian Party from Harry Browne's 2000 presidential campaign interview with The Don and Mike Show, airing on July 12th, 2000 on radio station WJFK in Washington, DC. He looked up The Libertarian Party's platform and began to follow party news, but did not become involved until 2012.

Harry Browne wrote about that interview in his 2000 Campaign Journal: "The final interview of the day is a doozy. Don & Mike are shock jocks on CBS radio. They interview me for about 25 minutes. They want to talk about sex; I want to talk about politics. I seem to do a good job of converting their questions into opportunities to talk about politics. I decline to answer personal questions. Quite an experience, but they seem genuinely in favor of my positions (which I managed to get across). Later in the day we get some emails from people who heard the show, went to the website, and were favorably impressed with what we offer...(Tomorrow on the Don & Mike show, the announcer will introduce them by saying, "Here are the men the next President of the United States, Harry Browne, thinks are a bit raunchy.")"<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020214072154fw_/http://harrybrowne2000.org/journal/journal_23.htm</ref>
