The plan is simple.
Property tax reform. Lower overrall taxes. Improve quality of life of my constituents. Improve public education.
Denise Wooten, 66 of Flower Mound (D)
Southern Denton County has been my home for over 30 years. From raising our two daughters and watching my beautiful grandchildren grow while continuing my career as a respected clinical psychologist, I have seen first hand the important role good government can take in supporting families and individuals.
My legislative goals reflect the principles that develop healthy communities beginning with fully funding public education without private school vouchers, expanding medical/mental healthcare access, reducing property taxes for the middle class while ending corrupt tax breaks for billionaires, and improving affordability of essentials.
Individual rights will also be legislative priorities including reproductive choices, sensible gun safety measures and improving air and water quality.
