Campaign Website

Drawing on 25 years of experience in ministry and addiction recovery, Gary T. Pierce is a dedicated advocate who believes government must serve citizens rather than elites. He champions the conviction that leadership is about lifting burdens and protecting rights that are God-given, not granted by politicians.

Gary has walked alongside communities facing addiction, poverty, and systemic neglect. As a pastor and community leader, he brings a moral clarity to public service — a belief that every life has dignity, every voice deserves to be heard, and that genuine leadership means lifting burdens rather than accumulating power.

"We don't need more government — we need better neighbors, stronger communities, and leaders who actually serve."
