I’m Sid Miller’s former campaign manager. On Election Day, I will NOT be voting for Republican Nate Sheets for Texas Agriculture Commissioner. Nate Sheets is manifestly unqualified for the job, therefore, I have no choice but to do what’s best for my fellow rural Texans, our farmers, our ranchers, and every Texas consumer, regardless of the cost. I was a rural Texan long before I was a Republican. Sheets is not a man of rural Texas. He doesn’t understand our culture, our issues, and the needs of our producers. Sheets is a big-city businessman and has no experience on farms, ranches, or in our vital aquaculture industry. If there is any office in Texas that is nonpartisan, it’s the Agriculture Commissioner. This office supports our farmers, ranchers, and consumers, not political interests. A candidate who fails that simple test simply cannot be given this vital role. Nate Sheets is a walking conflict of interest. He has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from AI data center interests. He doesn’t understand that AI data centers, along with the wind and solar farms he champions, remove Texas farmlands, damage our environment, soak up shared resources, and displace our culture, history, and people. Every acre not being farmed represents higher costs at the grocery store. Protecting farm and ranch land should be the most basic expectation for the Agriculture Commissioner. Just as bad, Sheets has a long history of disgusting personal behavior. He’s cheated on his wife repeatedly, lost his ministry due to infidelity with a subordinate, and admitted to addiction to both alcohol and pornography. We rightly forced Republicans Tony Gonzales and Bryan Slaton out of office for the same abhorrent behaviors. Why would we elect another one just like them? He may deserve Christian mercy, but he doesn’t deserve our trust or our votes. As a businessman, he is deeply disrespected in his own industry for allegedly watering down his Nature Nate’s Honey and lying about its sourcing and quality. Based on this, he sold out to private equity, just as he intends to do with our Texas heritage lands and resources. Nothing about him is authentic or trustworthy. Greg Abbott hates Sid Miller. Sid stood up to him during the COVID lockdowns and again when Abbott shut down shipping, leaving Texas farm products rotting on trucks. Mostly, Sid opposed Abbott on AI data centers before public pressure forced Abbott to flip-flop. Sheets won the primary because Greg Abbott endorsed him and lied about Sid Miller to push through his AI data center agenda. When Abbott flipped, Sheets was left hanging without a patron or a justification for his candidacy. His response was to return to attacking fellow Republican Sid Miller, an icon of rural Texas, even after winning the primary. Suburban Republicans, not farmers and ranchers, nominated Nate Sheets. Now I call on all Republicans to do the right thing and reject him.

Lost his ministry due to cheating with a subordinate. Admitted porn and alcohol addict. Serial cheater. Credibly accused of fraud in his honey business. Has taken huge $$$ from pro-data center interests to sell out rural Texas. Nate Sheets is a fraud and a pervert.
