In this episode of Texas Talks, host Brad Swail sits down with Texas State Senator Molly Cook, a sixth-generation Texan, registered nurse, and first-time elected official representing Senate District 15 in Houston. Senator Cook brings her real-world experience from the emergency room straight into the legislature — and she’s not wasting any time.

They dig into her "Nurse First Agenda," a bold, holistic policy platform rooted in public health, housing stability, emergency preparedness, criminal justice reform, and youth safety. Senator Cook lays out why every bill is a health bill, how clean air and tenant protections save lives, and why CPR training in schools isn’t just nice to have — it’s necessary.

From preventing power outages to keeping kids out of vape shops, this conversation connects the dots between personal experience and statewide policy. Whether you're a parent, a nurse, or just a concerned citizen, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
