ROCKWALL, TX (Jan. 1, 2023) – Katrina Pierson, who served as President Trump’s national spokesperson during his 2016 campaign, announced her run to represent House District 33 in the Texas Legislature. The district includes Rockwall County and part of Collin County.
“The Texas House has been a bottleneck for conservative priorities for too long, and it must be reformed,” said Pierson. “A small group of liberal Republicans have formed a coalition with Democrats to block or water down conservative priorities. They voted to put radical Democrats in charge of key committees so they could kill conservative bills and even helped put a radical Obama Administration lawyer in charge of House proceedings,” she said.
“Republicans are tired of politicians who care more about representing the Austin special interests than hard-working taxpayers. I’II stand up for conservative principles and fight for lower taxes, stronger border security, and boldly oppose the radical left’s woke agenda. Republicans in Rockwall and Collin County have told me they want a conservative voice in Austin, and I’m honored by the support and encouragement I have received from them to enter the race,” said Pierson.
Katrina Pierson is a dynamic conservative leader who has inspired grassroots activists throughout the nation for over a decade. She burst on the national stage on April 15th, 2009, when her inspiring speech at the Dallas Tea Party rally went viral.
