I want future generations, including my children and grandchildren, to inherit a livable Texas, with clean air, a stable power grid, and summers that aren't a public health emergency.

• Texas is the #1 emitter of CO2 in the nation.

• The Republican platform opposes climate action, calls for abolishing the EPA, and would repeal the Endangered Species Act. The Democratic platform supports a statewide climate action plan and continued investment in clean energy infrastructure.

• Do we really want more lung cancer and other breathing problems from pollution, deadly August heat waves, and grid failures?

​

I will support policies that get us on the right track for current and future generations. As your State Representative, I will:

• Support continued investment in renewable energy and a more resilient power grid

• Support common sense environmental protections that reduce pollution related health harms

​Texas families know what climate change feels like — even if Austin won't say so. When Winter Storm Uri knocked out power to millions of Texas homes in 2021, families in Flower Mound and across HD 63 went days without heat. When summer temperatures break records year after year, utility bills spike and vulnerable neighbors — the elderly, children with asthma — pay the price. Denise Wooten believes Texas has both a responsibility and an opportunity to lead on clean energy. As your state representative, she would fight for: A more resilient electric grid. Texas cannot afford another ERCOT failure. Wooten supports investments in grid modernization and greater use of renewable sources — solar and wind — that reduce our dependence on a fragile system. More renewable energy, not less. Texas is already the national leader in wind energy. Wooten wants to build on that strength, expand solar, and make sure the jobs and economic benefits of the clean energy transition stay in Texas. Cleaner air for our kids. Reducing methane emissions from oil and gas operations isn't just good for the climate — it improves air quality in communities across North Texas, where children's asthma rates are a documented public health concern. Smarter building standards. Improving energy efficiency in homes and buildings saves families money every month — and reduces the strain on the grid during peak demand. A plan for what's coming. Flooding, drought, and extreme heat are no longer rare events in Texas — they are the new normal. Wooten supports developing a statewide climate-adaptation plan so communities like ours can prepare rather than react. Denise Wooten believes keeping Texas livable for the next generation is not a partisan issue — it is a practical one.
