As an oil and gas engineer, I solve big problems for a living. That's why I ran for school board, and it's why I'm running for state representative. Our state faces serious challenges and they won't be solved by soundbite politicians.

Please join me, and together we can create positive change for our neighbors here in Nueces County and for all Texans.

-Denise Villalobos

The Issues

As our new State Representative, Denise Villalobos is passionate about passing a new law to help protect little girls and boys from human traffickers. Once it’s passed, any criminal convicted of trafficking kids in Texas will never be eligible for parole. To Denise, it's a pretty simple equation. If you mess with our children, then we lock you up and throw away the key.

Denise Villalobos will never waiver in her support of our local police officers. The radical politicians and extreme groups from outside of Nueces County who are backing Denise's opponent believe in ideas like defunding police departments and allowing violent criminals to be released early from prison. That puts our families and community in danger, which is why the sheriff and local law enforcement are endorsing Denise in this election.

Denise Villalobos was and raised here in Nueces County. While she didn't grow up with much, it didn't stop her from getting an education, becoming a chemical engineer, and living her American Dream. She knows the importance of a quality education. That’s why she serves on the Tuloso-Midway school board, and why she's running for State Representative. At the capitol, she will fight for increased funding for our teachers and local schools, so today’s kids have the same opportunities she had to excel and find good paying jobs here at home.

Good paying jobs, a thriving energy industry, and support for agriculture are all things needed for a strong local economy. But we also have to permanently lower property taxes to address inflation and the high cost of living. A lot of our people in the Coastal Bend are struggling to stay in their homes because of their tax bills. That's just not right, and why Denise Villalobos will fight for permanent property tax relief as our new State Representative.

Denise Villalobos is a chemical engineer who will protect our local oil and gas jobs and stand firm against radicals who want to kill the energy industry. Texas needs to remain the leading energy producer in the country. For that to happen, we must grow more Nueces County energy jobs.

About Denise

Denise Villalobos was born and raised in Corpus Christi, and although she grew up economically disadvantaged, it did not stop her from living her American Dream.
 
Denise attended Tuloso-Midway from Pre-K through high school graduation and went on to become a Chemical Engineer from Texas A&M University Kingsville, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Later she earned a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Texas Tech University in Lubbock.
 
As an oil and gas engineer and project manager, Denise has enhanced reliability programs for refineries across the country, revitalized culture amongst her teams, and as a board member on two national S.T.E.M. organizations, she has inspired students at all academic levels to pursue S.T.E.M. careers.
 
Denise also ran for Tuloso-Midway school board in order to prioritize student safety, to empower parents and teachers in the classroom, and to make sure that the children of today have the same opportunities she had to excel and find quality, good paying jobs here at home.
 
Denise is a member of the Society of Professional Hispanic Engineers, and she is a graduate of Leadership Corpus Christi. Earlier this year she was honored by Corpus Christi Under 40 for significant contributions in her professional field as well as service in the community.
 

Denise and her husband, Ruben, who is also a Chemical Engineer, became foster parents in 2023. In November, they will be formally adopting their foster son and welcoming him into their family permanently.
