Houston Chronicle: Texas primary results in major incumbent shakeups despite low turnout

Molly Cook, a Democrat vying to replace John Whitmire in the Texas Senate after he was elected Houston’s mayor, spent Tuesday afternoon at Poe Elementary School campaigning with her dad, Mark Cook.

The pair stood on the sidewalk and handed out fliers to voters passing by.

“I’m extremely hopeful and extremely excited,” she said.
