The youngest member of the Texas Senate is leading by example
John, it’s David.
When far-right Republicans in Texas tried to rig congressional maps to keep power, Molly Cook didn’t just speak out. She walked out. Literally.

Alongside her fellow Senate Democrats, Molly walked out of the chamber in solidarity with the Democrat Texas House Reps breaking quorum and to protest the GOP’s plan to let politicians choose their voters.
But when Molly left, she didn’t walk back into the Senate chamber. She went back to her district to do the real work to build the Democratic party brick by brick, starting with the grassroots in her district. She is out right now knocking on doors, educating her district, and organizing with her communities. She isn’t waiting on anyone to tell her what the plan is. She is leading by example.
These are the kinds of fights young leaders were made for. And this is exactly why we endorsed Molly Cook last cycle and helped her win.
But now the same Republicans who tried to silence millions of Texans are coming after her — and every bold young leader like her.
That’s why we’re asking you to split $5 between Molly Cook and Leaders We Deserve today.
Your donation will be split between Leaders We Deserve and Molly Cook — so we can keep up the fight for fair maps, real democracy, and the leaders who won’t back down.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t just about Texas. It’s about a national Republican strategy to rig our democracy at every level, from Congress to school boards.
But Molly is showing what it looks like to fight back — with courage, conviction, and a clear plan.
We need more leaders like her. And we need to have their backs — especially when the stakes are this high.
Can you donate $5 or anything you can right now to help us defend Molly Cook and elect the next wave of young progressive fighters?
