Background

Kyle Pierce was elected in November 2022 to represent House District 36, centered on Anderson and Madison County. He holds a J.D. from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law and a B.A. from Ball State University, and works in the nonprofit sector in addition to his legislative duties. Pierce serves on the Election & Apportionment Committee, Financial Institutions Committee, Commerce/Small Business Committee, the Government Reform Task Force, and the Code Revision Committee (Source 2). He was named a 2024 ALEC Policy Champion for his work protecting Hoosiers from Central Bank Digital Currency implementation, and received a 2025 STAR Award from the Indiana Parkinson's community (Source 1).

Positions

Fiscal responsibility

Strong support

Pierce was a co-author on legislation creating the Health Care Cost Oversight Task Force to reduce hospital costs, supported one of Indiana's largest tax cut packages saving an estimated $430 million, and backed $1.3 billion in property tax relief for homeowners (Source 1). He voted Yea on SB 1 (2025), the property tax relief bill (Source 5). He has served three consecutive years on the Government Reform Task Force focused on streamlining government (Source 1).

Limited government

Support

Pierce's stated platform emphasizes "government transparency," "promoting government transparency, and streamlining government for Hoosiers" and protecting individual liberties. He voted Yea on HB 1032 (2026), the mid-cycle redistricting bill, which passed 57–41 with strong Republican support (Source 10). No specific anti-regulatory floor statement found beyond the above.

Second Amendment

Strong support

Pierce voted Yea on HB 1084 (2024), the Second Amendment Privacy Act prohibiting firearm-specific merchant category codes (Source 9). He was added as co-author to HB 1095 (2025), the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force bill — a law enforcement measure aimed at tracing illegal firearms — demonstrating active engagement on firearms-related legislation (Source 2, IFI cross-reference).

Pro-life issues

Strong support

Pierce scored 100% on the 2024 Indiana Family Institute Legislative Scorecard, voting with IFI's position on all three scored bills including SB 17 (minors/online harmful materials), SB 202 (First Amendment in universities), and HB 1137 (religious instruction for public school students) (Source 3). SB 236 (2026), the abortion-inducing drug ban, did not reach a House vote in the 2026 session; no individual vote available to record (Source 12).

Family values

Strong support

Pierce voted Yea on HB 1041 (2025), Save Women's College Sports, which passed 71–25 in the House (Source 7). He voted Yea on SB 289 (2025), the DEI prohibition, which passed 67–27 in the House (Source 8). He scored 100% on the 2024 IFI scorecard (Source 3). SB 143 (2025), Parental Rights, passed both chambers; no individual roll call was recorded in LegiScan, but Pierce's 100% IFI alignment is consistent with a Yea position (Source 11).
