“She grew up in a working-class family, the daughter of a preacher who taught her important values like a strong work ethic, sense of community responsibility, charitability, fiscal conservatism, patriotism, and embracing the rights and values of everyone within our community.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“Somehow, I always believed that if I worked hard and utilized opportunities, I could make my future be what I wanted. I put myself through undergraduate and graduate school so I could fulfill my dream of becoming a psychologist. My strongest motivation came from my family's core values that placed a premium on centering on others rather than oneself and offering assistance to those in need.” (Campaign website (wooten-for-texas.com))
“The motivation for me to run for office came out of my knowledge from 30+ years as a clinical psychologist, that there are so many unmet mental health needs in Texas. Texas is lousy and pathetic at taking care of people, ranking around 45th out of 50 states in per capita expenditures on human services. Yet, Texas is second highest in wealth as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).” (Campaign website (wooten-for-texas.com))
