A public servant working for the Health Department, Cocks ran unsuccessfully for the Legislative Assembly at the 2016 ACT election and for the federal seat of Bean in 2019.[2] He ran again for Murrumbidgee at the 2020 ACT election. Although not successful at the election, he was elected in a countback on 20 June 2022 following Giulia Jones's resignation.[3]
