Alexcia Cox, Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office (SAO) Deputy Chief Assistant, is running for the top job that would make her the first woman and the first African American to run the county prosecutors’ office.
The announcement came after three-term Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said he would not be seeking a fourth term. Cox began working as a prosecutor nearly 20 years ago, according to her campaign statement.
The Palm Beach County native, now the chief of the SAO’s Domestic Violence Unit, will be facing a Primary with defense lawyer Gregg Lerman, running as a Democrat.
