"Mr. Pearce was my 8th grade teacher and taught me to be proud of my academic achievements. He also showed me that with enough hard work, any goal can be achieved. Thanks to Mr. Pearce's guidance, I was 1 of 3 students in the entire school to earn a perfect 100% on the TAKS exam."

- John Allen Gregory, Shoemaker High School Valedictorian and current Rice University engineering student

I can say, hands down, that I learned more in Mr. Pearce’s history class than in any other class I've ever taken. He was an incredible teacher and mentor who made his class so enjoyable while keeping it under control so that students who wanted to learn could do so easily. There was absolutely no excuse not to do well! He taught us the importance of discipline and hard work, but at the same time, the importance of enjoying what you were learning. He was a model leader and believed in the right of every student to have the opportunity to learn. His dedication, perseverance, and love of his family, friends, and students will always be an inspiration to me.

"Mr. Pearce was one of those rare teachers that students were ecstatic to see on their schedule. His class was always fun and he always made relating to and understanding AP government easy. He gave us life-long lessons that we would take with us on our journey through life. He was also easy to approach for help, which is something that frustrated me about most teachers. Mr. Pearce is definitely one teacher whom I will always remember, and in the back of my mind, I know I will be thanking him for the things he taught me as I walk across the stage to receive my university diploma."

“Mike Pearce is a principled conservative who understands the limited role that government should play in our daily lives. As a Marine Corp veteran, he has made sacrifices for his family, his community and his country. He knows the importance of preserving the integrity of our borders and ensuring our 2nd Amendment rights guaranteed to us under our Constitution.”

- C.A. Novack, Lt. Col, US Army (retired)

“As a principled educator, Mike Pearce was a leader in the movement to assure Texans that patriotism, free markets and democracy be taught to our children and that state-adopted textbooks not use propaganda or “revisionist” history. I had the privilege to work with him in that effort. Mike Pearce has been a champion for Texas taxpayers, parents, schoolchildren and for our Constitution. He will make a tremendous legislator. “

- Peggy Venable, Texas State Director, Americans for Prosperity

“Mike Pearce is a dedicated conservative leader who has led the fight for family values. While in college, Mike started an Eagle Forum collegians chapter and was active in the Students for Life organization. We need someone we can trust in the Legislature who will stand up for the pro-life and pro-family issues that are important to Texas families. Mike Pearce is that leader.”

- Cathie Adams, President, Texas Eagle Forum

"A Marine veteran and former classroom teacher, Pearce is running for the open House District 55 seat in the Texas Legislature. Not only does he appear to be right on the issues, he is running a campaign in the right way... Mike Pearce has all the markings of the kind of candidate conservatives are looking to support... Pearce demonstrated that he understands right thinking has to be joined with right action. You never get the chance to implement your good ideas if you aren't first willing to do the hard work... A former precinct chair and election judge, Pearce has worked the field at its most basic level. At a time when a lot of potential candidates are still trying to decide if they want a web site or not, Pearce is spending the Fall talking to activists, meeting with voters and getting around the district. That shows both his commitment to the process, and his conviction about the powers of the ideas he supports... After serving his country as a Marine, promoting academic excellence in students and earning the respect of parents, Pearce is one man who has earned the title 'The Honorable' long before he ever takes public office."
