Key Issues
Education
Denise Wilkerson understands that a strong education system is the foundation of our state’s future. As a proud parent and long-time advocate for public schools, Denise is committed to ensuring every child has access to free high-quality education. She will fight for better funding, teacher pay raises, more classroom resources, and enhanced safety measures in our schools. Denise believes that public dollars should not be sent to unaccountable private schools and that vouchers are fiscally irresponsible. Denise’s priority is to make sure our local public schools are places where all students can thrive and succeed.
Infrastructure
Our daily lives depend on reliable and safe infrastructure, and Denise knows that it’s past time to make significant improvements. She will prioritize the repair and modernization of our transportation systems, ensuring that our highways are efficient and safe. Denise also understands the critical need for a stable power grid and clean water systems to support our growing communities. By focusing on infrastructure, Denise will help create a stronger, more resilient Texas, capable of supporting families and businesses alike.
Healthcare
Denise Wilkerson believes that access to affordable healthcare is a fundamental right for all Texans. She is committed to expanding healthcare access, reducing costs, and ensuring that every resident has the opportunity to receive quality medical care. Denise will work to protect and improve healthcare services, especially for our most vulnerable populations and women. By advocating for common-sense healthcare solutions, Denise aims to create a healthier Texas, where families can feel secure knowing they have the support they need.
Border Security
Radical right-wing politics have left our border unsecure and our communities less safe. Trump Republicans blocked the border security and immigration reform bill which would have increased border patrol officers, asylum courts, and security tools like fentanyl detection machines. Smarter investment in our border patrol officers, dedicated humanitarian processing infrastructure at the border and in receiving communities will reduce unexpected fiscal burdens, limit strain on law enforcement resources, and improve public safety. Denise believes in practical and fiscally responsible border security measures, enhanced technology, faster processing, and improved coordination among law enforcement agencies.
Economy
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and Denise Wilkerson is dedicated to fostering an environment where they can thrive. She will advocate for policies that reduce unnecessary regulations, provide access to capital, and offer support for entrepreneurs. Denise understands the challenges small business owners face and will work to create opportunities for growth and success. By championing small businesses, Denise aims to boost local economies and create jobs, making our communities stronger and more vibrant.
People First
Denise will focus on common sense policies that benefit everyone in our district, drawing inspiration from Texas renowned hospitality. Her goal is to foster inclusivity, compassion, and equitable opportunities for every individual, ensuring that the spirit of community and care permeates every decision she makes. It’s far past time for our representatives to listen to all of their constituents and focus on the everyday issues that matter.
Texas is for All Y’all.
