Since joining the Indiana House, Pierce has worked to turn those principles into policy. His legislative record includes efforts to modernize state government, strengthen transparency and accountability, protect financial freedom, improve election administration, embrace emerging technologies, and ensure government keeps pace with the needs of Hoosiers.

Pierce has authored legislation protecting Hoosiers' ability to use digital assets, including protections for individuals and businesses that use digital assets for legal transactions and for self-hosted wallets. He has also authored legislation to modernize the technology used by Indiana's Election Division. His work reflects a broader commitment to protecting individual freedom while ensuring state government is prepared for a rapidly changing economy and technological landscape.

Pierce has also supported major tax relief for Hoosier families. In 2023, he supported legislation that provided one of Indiana's largest tax-cut packages, saving an estimated $430 million for hardworking Hoosiers, as well as legislation that provided $100 million in property-tax relief for homeowners.

He has worked to make health care more affordable and transparent, including co-authoring legislation establishing the Health Care Cost Oversight Task Force to examine costs at Indiana's largest hospital systems. Pierce also supported the creation of a new statewide infrastructure for mental health services, including expanding behavioral health clinics throughout Indiana.

Protecting Hoosiers' financial freedom has also been a priority. In 2024, the American Legislative Exchange Council recognized Pierce as a Policy Champion for sponsoring Senate Bill 180, authored by State Senator Eric Koch, which protects Indiana from implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency.

During the 2026 legislative session, Pierce continued taking on greater responsibility in the legislative process, including serving as chair of the conference committee for House Bill 1273. Throughout his time in office, he has worked across a range of issues to streamline state government, eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy, strengthen accountability, and ensure taxpayers can more easily understand how their government operates.

Pierce serves on the House Elections and Apportionment Committee, Financial Institutions Committee, and Commerce, Small Business and Economic Development Committee. Outside of the legislative session, he has served on the Government Reform Task Force and Code Revision Committee.

His work at the Statehouse has earned recognition both in Indiana and nationally. In 2023, Pierce was one of three Indiana legislators selected to participate in the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development, a competitive fellowship for emerging state legislative leaders from across the Midwest.

In 2024, Pierce was named one of the Madison County Chamber of Commerce's “20 Under 40” and received the Indiana Credit Union League's Outstanding Hoosier Legislator Award.

In 2025, Pierce received a STAR Award from Indiana's Parkinson's disease community for his work promoting awareness and measures to assist Hoosiers impacted by Parkinson's disease. That same year, he was named to Maverick PAC's Future40, which recognizes 40 up-and-coming conservative leaders from across the country. Previous honorees include governors, U.S. senators, members of Congress, and other leaders from across the conservative movement.

In 2026, Pierce was selected to participate in the Club for Growth Fellowship, continuing his involvement in programs focused on developing the next generation of conservative policy leaders.

Pierce graduated from Ball State University and earned his law degree from Indiana University's Robert H. McKinney School of Law. In addition to serving in the Indiana House of Representatives, he works in the nonprofit sector. Kyle and his wife live in Anderson with their two children.
