On day one of the special session, Texas’s Republican leadership made it clear that their number one priority is to protect politicians over people. The president is weaponizing your state legislature to serve himself, not Texans. #txlege

Trump is strong arming Texas and changing the rules to push his harmful agenda. This special session is going to impact the lives of everyone in Texas, and I’m going to keep y’all as informed as possible about everything that’s going on. Stay tuned. #txlege

The 89th regular session is now behind us. I'm proud of what Team Cook accomplished for SD 15, guided by our Nurse First agenda. It was a challenging session for working Texans, but we’ll continue to support solutions that improve public health, safety, and put Texans first.

I visited the Spring Branch Community Health Center to speak with Dr. Trujillo about the services they provide in Houston! I passed HB 3151 to make sure clinics like this get the funding they need to keep our communities safe and healthy.

Greta Toranzo, from Sinclair Elementary, is still missing, and her family has asked our community to place a blue ribbon on our trees as a sign of support. We have placed this outside of our district office as we pray for her safe return.

Cash donations, food, and clothing are essential items that people will need, and many businesses are sending any proceeds they can to the affected areas.

As rescue and recovery efforts continue following the devastating floods, we want to share resources in Houston and across the state that we can all contribute to. Please share this information with those around you, and support these efforts if you are able. Thank you.

Trump’s Big Bad Bill decimates affordable healthcare across the United States. We cannot stand by and allow Republicans to pass a bill that will jeopardize the health and safety of millions of Americans.

I’m an ER nurse. Undocumented folks do not receive federal healthcare like these Republicans keep suggesting UNLESS it's a life or death situation. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” strips healthcare access from 17 million American citizens.
