Meet
Katrina

Katrina Pierson is a dynamic conservative leader who has inspired grassroots activists throughout the nation for over fifteen years. Katrina burst on the national stage on April 15th, 2009, when her inspiring speech at the Dallas Tea Party rally went viral.  As a result of her grassroots work building the Tea Party Movement in Texas and across the nation, Katrina was formally recognized as one of the “Founding Mothers” of the Tea Party Movement.  Her passion and ability to advocate for conservative principles in a relatable and compelling way led to frequent appearances on national and international news networks, including the Fox News Channel, CNN, MSNBC, and Newsmax, among many others.

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. After obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of Texas at Dallas, Katrina built a successful career in the healthcare industry.

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 unique background and life experience equipped her to reach new communities and significantly expand the Republican Party.

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.

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.

Katrina is a Forney High School graduate. Her son attended Steadham Elementary School and Schrade Middle School in Rowlett, Texas.

She lives in Rockwall, Texas.
