Rep. Katrina Pierson Joins Rockwall Republicans to Shape Legislative Priorities

State Rep. Katrina Pierson brought her District 33 seat directly to Rockwall Republicans on Monday, attending a local party meeting to solicit grassroots input on legislative priorities ahead of the county convention. The meeting placed Pierson face-to-face with the activists and voters who form the base of the party she has represented in the Texas House since January 2025.

The timing is deliberate. The 2026 Republican Party of Texas State Convention is scheduled for June 11-13 in Houston at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Precinct and county conventions are the first in a series of conventions that define the Republican Party of Texas Party Platform and set the Republican Legislative Priorities for the next Texas legislative session. Rockwall County's convention is one link in that chain.

Pierson represents District 33, which includes Rockwall County and part of Collin County. She assumed office on January 14, 2025, and her current term ends on January 12, 2027. She advanced from the Republican primary on March 3, 2026, and is on the ballot in the general election on November 3, 2026.

Pierson has been a prominent figure in conservative politics for over a decade, with her journey into public service beginning through grassroots activism during the Tea Party movement, where she earned recognition as one of its "Founding Mothers." That organizing history shapes how she engages with local party structures: rather than dictating legislative direction, she has emphasized building priorities from the precinct level up.

The Rockwall County Commissioners Court issued a resolution honoring Pierson for her outstanding service and values-based leadership during the 2025 Texas legislative session. Her appearance at Monday's meeting extends that relationship into the 2026 convention cycle, positioning the county's grassroots input as a direct input into what she carries back to Austin.
