Katrina Pierson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of Texas at Dallas. She lives in Rockwall, Texas.

In addition to her volunteer grassroots work, 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.

After her years of hard work effectively making the case for conservative causes, Katrina was asked by Donald Trump to serve as the national spokesperson for his 2016 Presidential campaign. In this role, Katrina further established her reputation for vigorously promoting conservative policies on issues such as border security, illegal immigration, gun rights, religious liberty, and election integrity.

In 2020, President Trump asked Katrina to lead the national coalition program for his reelection campaign. Her work in this role resulted in a record-breaking level of support for Trump among minority voters in the 2020 election and laid the groundwork for even broader engagement.

Her commitment to public service resulted in her appointment to the Texas Lieutenant Governor’s Advisory Board, and to healthcare and transportation boards by local governments. 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. In 2021, Katrina became a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and currently serves on a board for a pro-life nonprofit organization.

2026 Texas General Election

Representative Katrina Pierson announced the filing of HB-3971, legislation designed to repurpose the Texas Sunset Commission into a “Department of Government Oversight & Efficiency” (DOGE). Texas DOGE will build on the successes of Elon Musk’s national-level team —renowned for uncovering wasteful federal spending— while ensuring recommendations flow directly to the Texas Legislature. “Given the unprecedented waste uncovered at the federal level by Elon Musk and his DOGE team, I believe Texas has an opportunity to lead by example,” said Representative Pierson. “My DOGE bill ensures we have our own dedicated organization to investigate inefficiencies within state bureaucracy. By implementing our own DOGE program, we are taking a proactive step to strengthen transparency in public spending and save taxpayer dollars.”

Representative Pierson Introduces HB 3971 to Establish a Texas DOGE

Representative Pierson emphasized that the bill is designed to uphold Texas’s longstanding commitment to fiscal responsibility: “Texans are being taxed out of their homes, any penny of government waste needs to be discovered and put back into the pockets of taxpayers. By forming our own DOGE, we can more effectively root out unnecessary costs while championing innovation and best practices in government.”

Pierson noted personal victories that include successfully amending the state budget, steering legislation to the Governor’s desk, and sponsoring election integrity legislation from the Senate. Yet, she emphasized that “there is still work to be done.” “We must deliver a permanent fix for skyrocketing property taxes and put them on a path to elimination, advance the full Republican Party platform, and halt the growth of government in Austin,” she added.

Economy

In her first official act, Representative-Elect Katrina Pierson filed a bill that would strengthen property owners’ rights and combat the unauthorized occupation of land or property known as squatting. Pierson’s bill, House Bill (HB) 1076, would increase the penalties “squatters” face for unlawfully occupying a property, provide clearer parameters for what constitutes squatting, and allow county sheriffs to remove these unauthorized occupants from an owner’s property through an expedited process. “I chose this as my first bill because I am a fierce champion of property rights,” said Rep.-Elect Pierson. “For too long, Texas property owners have had their hands tied as their buildings, land, and livelihoods are damaged by squatters who have more rights than they do. It’s time that the law was written to benefit the people who rightfully own these properties instead of the trespassers illegally living in them.”

On First Day Possible, Pierson Files Bill to Protect Texans' Property Rights from Squatters

Authored Legislation:
Constable’s Salary Assistance (HB 3253)
HB 3253 strengthens law enforcement services in rural communities by providing targeted financial assistance for county constable offices. Under this bill, the rural constable’s office salary assistance grant program is increased to help fund minimum annual salaries for constables and deputy constables, as well as other critical operational needs.

Healthcare

The Texas House has passed Senate Bill 2 (SB2), a historic school choice bill that establishes an Education Savings Account (ESA) program to empower Texas families and expand educational opportunities. “Today’s historic passage of SB2 is a monumental victory for House District 33 and my constituents,” said State Representative Katrina Pierson. “For nearly two decades, I’ve fought to empower parents, including my work for President Donald Trump, who elevated this issue as a national priority, and my service now alongside Governor Greg Abbott to make it a reality here in Texas. This bill empowers parents to choose the best education for their children and for underserved communities to access new pathways to success. I’m grateful to my colleagues for their commitment to building a stronger, freer future for every Texas child.”
