Democrat Jason Pearce is challenging Republican incumbent Pat Fallon for Texas’ 4th Congressional District in the Nov. 3, 2026, election, according to the Texas secretary of state’s certified candidate list.

Pearce’s background includes sales and mortgage lending. In his 2025 Candidate Connection responses published by Ballotpedia, he identified housing affordability, congressional tenure and the influence of money in politics as priorities.

Housing ownership

Pearce proposes prohibiting companies and corporations from purchasing single-family homes to rent out. He argues that limiting corporate ownership would improve affordability for individual buyers.

The reviewed responses do not specify exemptions, enforcement costs or how existing corporate holdings would be treated. They also do not establish how much the proposal would change home prices or rents in the district.

Term limits and retirement

Pearce supports congressional term limits and a mandatory retirement age of 65 for public offices, including judicial positions. He does not set out a transition plan in the reviewed responses.

Congressional term limits would require a constitutional amendment, according to the Congressional Research Service. Federal judges appointed under Article III currently have life tenure, so a blanket retirement requirement would also raise constitutional questions.

Lobbying and campaign finance

Pearce calls for banning lobbying and reversing the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. His responses do not provide detailed legislative language, an enforcement budget or a plan for addressing the constitutional protections implicated by those proposals.

What a representative can do

A U.S. representative can introduce and vote on federal legislation and spending. Pearce could not enact these changes alone: ordinary legislation generally requires approval by both chambers of Congress and the president, while constitutional amendments follow a separate ratification process.

This profile draws on the certified ballot and Pearce’s published candidate responses. It excludes policy and biography claims that could not be verified.

The Prosper-Celina Journal did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
