Before becoming Agriculture Commissioner, Miller served six terms in the Texas House of Representatives, where he championed conservative principles, defended agricultural interests, and fought for individual liberties and constitutional freedoms. He chaired key committees like Agriculture & Livestock and Homeland Security during his legislative tenure. In office, Miller has focused on streamlining agricultural services, boosting consumer protections, and expanding markets for Texas products both at home and abroad.

Nathan “Nate” Sheets is a fifth-generation Texan, U.S. Navy veteran, successful entrepreneur, and staunch conservative Republican running for Texas Agriculture Commissioner in the 2026 GOP primary. Born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, Nate learned the values of service, discipline, and faith early in life — serving six years in the United States Naval Reserve before earning his Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from Texas State University. After his military service, Nate and his wife Patty turned a single backyard beehive into Nature Nate’s Honey, which became America’s #1 branded honey, known nationwide for its emphasis on purity, transparency, and farm-to-family quality. Under his leadership, the brand set industry standards for clean, unadulterated food and reflected his deep commitment to healthy, honest agriculture. A Christian family man with four children and a daughter-in-law, Sheets is not a career politician — he’s a builder with real-world experience who wants to bring clean food reform, rural economic strength, Texas-first trade, and strong conservative leadership to the Texas Department of Agriculture. He and his family also operate a ranch near Guthrie, where they continue hands-on stewardship of land and livestock. Nate has earned key endorsements from major Texas conservative groups and is running on a platform that defends Texas farmers and ranchers, prioritizes food security and purity, protects property rights, and champions policies that support families and rural communities.
