Cox later worked as the Director of Outreach at the Beacon Center of Tennessee, where she was involved in legislation and pro-bono economic litigation.[4]
From 2018 to 2021, Cox served as the National Manager of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty. During her tenure, she worked on efforts that contributed to the repeal of capital punishment in three states.[5][6][7][8]
Cox has also held positions at the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), including Content Manager and Brand Ambassador.[9][10]

In 2024, Cox, along with her BASEDPolitics co-founders Brad Polumbo and Jack Hunter, filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which aimed to ban TikTok in the United States. The lawsuit, filed in collaboration with the Liberty Justice Center, argues that the act violates the First Amendment by banning all speech on TikTok, which they contend is constitutionally protected.[13][14]
Cox has been vocal about the importance of TikTok as a platform for political discourse and education. She argues that the platform offers a unique audience and algorithm that allows for reaching people who might not encounter their content elsewhere.[15][16]
