This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (center, color, defense, realize, traveled) and some terms may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Currently, on X, there is a photo of Cooper that was previously from Wikipedia removed for not having any copyright permission on it. Well how about we upload this image, except with permission

I was in law school with Cooper. One day walking down the hall he said he wanted to be governor. Other people told me he'd said this on other occassions too. It is something I've never forgotten. No, there is no "reliable source" for this, but it did happen. BlueRockThrush (talk) 22:36, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
