About the Speaker
Nate Sheets is a fifth-generation Texan, U.S. Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and Republican candidate for Texas Agriculture Commissioner in the 2026 election. Born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, Sheets served six years in the United States Naval Reserve before earning a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from Texas State University.
Sheets is the founder of Nature Nate’s Honey, a nationally recognized raw honey brand he built from a single backyard beehive into one of America’s most successful honey companies. After selling the business in 2021 and serving as its CEO through 2024, he transitioned from private-sector leadership to public service with a campaign focused on supporting Texas farmers, ranchers, and rural economies.
As a political newcomer, Sheets has positioned himself as a conservative alternative in the Republican primary, emphasizing food purity, agricultural innovation, regulatory reform, and stronger market access for producers. His campaign has drawn notable endorsements, including from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who praised Sheets as a leader with integrity and dedication to Texas agriculture.
Sheets lives in North Texas with his wife, Patty, and their four children and daughter-in-law. In addition to his business accomplishments, he owns and operates a ranch, reflecting his commitment to land stewardship and the agricultural heritage of the state.
Driven by faith, family, and real-world experience, Sheets is campaigning to bring new leadership to the Texas Department of Agriculture, advocating for policies that support farmers and ranchers, strengthen rural communities, and ensure Texans have access to safe, healthful food.
