Republican Katrina Pierson announces campaign For Texas House District 33

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. Her passion and ability to advocate for conservative principles in a compelling way led to frequent appearances on the Fox News Channel, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, and across all global news networks. After years of working hard to advance conservative causes, Katrina stepped up to serve as national spokesperson for President Trumps’s 2016 campaign, earning a reputation for vigorously promoting his conservative policies on issues such as border security, illegal immigration, gun rights, religious liberty, and election integrity.

In 2020, Katrina had the opportunity to engage in a project dear to her heart when she was tapped by President Trump to lead the national coalition program for his reelection campaign. Her efforts resulted in a record-breaking level of support for Trump within minority communities. Her unique background and life experience equipped her to reach new communities and help grow the Republican party.

Born to a single mother who gave birth to her at the age of 15, Katrina grew up in extreme poverty. Her environment was rife with challenges and struggles. Determined to build a better life for herself and her young son, she worked while putting herself through school obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of Texas at Dallas and went to work in the health care industry.

Katrina is also an entrepreneur who built her own public affairs and crisis consulting firm to help businesses, non-profits and conservative advocacy groups accomplish their goals. Her commitment to public service resulted in her appointment to healthcare and transportation boards by local governments. She also served on the Texas Lieutenant Governor’s Advisory Board. Katrina’s efforts to increase civic engagement and bring more people into the political process was officially recognized by proclamation during the 83rd Texas Legislature.
