Winning a Texas Senate seat is a big deal, and it tastes extra sweet because it is born of sheer grit, determination, and teamwork. We have organized for years, stayed true to our values, and built momentum that extends beyond this election. Thank you to the team, voters, volunteers, and donors. Let’s take a moment to root ourselves in gratitude and bask in our community, and let’s get to work.”

We are looking forward to working with you in the Senate.” - Jacki Anderson, HFT President

ALT “Senator Cook is one of the most impressive candidates ever to run for office in Texas. The thoughtfulness, compassion, and grit she has exhibited both as an organizer and a candidate has built not just a successful campaign but a growing movement to ensure that all Houstonians can live a life of dignity. I am proud to be her constituent, and her friend. On to November!” - Daniel J. Cohen, Precinct 272 Chair, and Community Activist “Molly's win gives me hope that Texas can be a place for all Texans...no exceptions. She cares for everyone especially those who are vulnerable and marginalized. Isn't it awesome to have the first female lgbtq State Senator who is compassionate, smart and willing to do the hard work to lift our voices” - Poonam Kapoor
