Yesterday, we raised questions about whether Data Nate meets the legal qualifications to serve as Ag Commissioner. Now he’s questioning my own experience, so I’m answering him directly: growing up and working on a family ranch doesn’t stop counting because the land is still in your family’s name.

Agriculture isn’t a campaign prop to me. It’s my life. I grew up baling hay, mending fences, and working livestock on my family’s ranch. Texas law requires real agricultural experience for a reason. Texans deserve answers about whether Data Nate meets those requirements.

Press release graphic from Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner over a photo of a rural barn. The graphic quotes Tucker saying Texans deserve an Agriculture Commissioner who meets Texas law’s requirements, describing his experience working on his family’s ranch, and arguing that Nate Sheets likely does not meet the legal qualifications for the office based on his agricultural experience. It concludes: “Texas law is clear: the Commissioner who oversees Texas Agriculture should be of, by, and for those who are actually in the industry.”

Only organized people can beat organized money. I was in Jim Hogg county talking with folks about data centers, Al, water, diesel, and more. Organized money is pushing for Al data centers. If we're not careful, outwater, tarms, and communities may pay the price.

Texas law sets agricultural experience requirements for who can serve as Ag Commissioner. Today, our attorneys sent a letter to the Republican Party of Texas arguing that Data Nate does not meet those requirements and asking the party chair to review his eligibility

765 transmission lines are popping up across Texas. They're massive, they're damaging, they may not be entirely legal. They're also going to many of the data center hotspots, which begs the question: who are they really for?

Our food should be affordable. It should also be safe to eat. Food monopolies have gotten too powerful, and working families are paying the price. It’s time to take our food system back from the Greedy Few.

We’re moving up in the polls and are now in a statistical tie. A new statewide poll has us at 44% to Data Nate’s 46%, within the margin of error. These Corrupt Bigshots have the lobbyists, the PACs, and piles of money. We have people.

Graphic showing Clayton Tucker and Nate Sheets in front of the Texas Capitol. Tucker appears in full color holding a microphone, while Sheets is tinted red behind him. Large text reads “Statistical Tie.” Poll numbers show Clayton Tucker at 44% and “Data Nate” at 46%, within the margin of error. The graphic cites Texas Public Opinion Research, September 2026, with a ±3.6% margin of error.

Healthy soil is one of our best defenses against drought. Healthy soil lets more rain soak in and stay available for crops instead of being lost to runoff and evaporation. We need to rebuild our soil and protect the land that feeds us.

Data centers and AI are uniting Americans. This isn't about being red or blue, country or city, or your fav political sports team. This is about organized people defending ourselves against organized money.

Surveillance is not safety. Flock cameras are tracking Texans everywhere they drive, all without a warrant. Our freedom and privacy shouldn't be the price we pay for Big Tech's surveillance network.

The Rio Grande Valley does not have water to waste. Families and farmers are already feeling the strain. We cannot let massive AI data centers come in and compete with Texans for the water we depend on.

Half of Texas families surveyed say someone is skipping meals or eating less. Food costs keep climbing while the Ultra Wealthy dominate our food system. Texans deserve affordable food and farmers deserve a fair deal.

These Corrupt Bigshots are moving faster than they can control their own technology. OpenAI reportedly didn't know its AI was meddling with U.S. government websites until after it happened.

Screenshot of a New York Times article with the headline, “OpenAI’s A.I. Went Rogue and Meddled With U.S. Government Websites.” The subheadline says the company only recently learned its technology had meddled with websites for the Education Department, Commerce Department, and Securities and Exchange Commission. Below is a photo of OpenAI’s headquarters in San Francisco.

Funny how everybody starts changing their tune when Election Day gets close. I’ve been fighting irresponsible AI data centers because I know what happens when a ranch starts running out of water. Having been raised around cattle, I know what bull smells like.

Go Texan is in danger. It promotes growing, processing, and manufacturing in Texas. It’s a great brand that helps local Texas businesses grow. My opponent, Data Nate, wants to get rid of the Go Texan program, which ain’t surprising, considering he was a food importer who sold out to Wall Street.

900 Flock cameras down. Thousands more to go. Texans should be able to drive down the road without Big Tech tracking where we go and building a database of our movements. Communities across Texas are starting to pull the plug. Let’s de-flock Texas.

Texas Tribune graphic with the headline, “At least 900 Flock cameras have been unplugged in Texas since state funding was cut.” The graphic says at least 14 cities and counties have shut off Flock cameras since state funding was rescinded in late August. Houston and Dallas shut down grant-funded cameras while keeping much of their networks operating, while Plano, Robinson, and Kendall County ended their Flock contracts entirely. Dated September 24, 2026.

Today is our filing deadline, and we’re about to cross 7,000 donors. While Data Nate posts data center money, I’d rather post 7,000 Texans pitching in $5 and $10 at a time. Remember, only organized people can beat organized money.

Hemp can do a whole lot more than you might think. We can grow it right here in Texas and use it to make biodegradable plastics while creating another cash crop for our farmers. It’s time to let Texas farmers farm.

Brisket is getting too expensive for Texas BBQ joints to sell. Something is seriously wrong. Families can't afford higher grocery bills, and small businesses can't keep eating these costs. We need a food system that works for the people who grow our food, sell our food, and eat our food.

A KWTX news graphic shows sliced brisket and barbecue ribs on a cutting board. Text reads, “‘That is a killer’: Some barbecue restaurants in Texas are pulling brisket and ribs from their menus due to high beef prices.”

Our right to privacy should be as sacred as our right to private property. Flock cameras are tracking Texans and feeding information into a massive surveillance network with far too little transparency or accountability.

Texas is running out of water, y’all. Water is life. Agua es vida. We can get a lot of things wrong and still recover, but if we lose our water, nothing else matters. I’m a farmer. Water and food are the issues I live with every day, and Texas families deserve leaders who will protect both.

Can you really clean oilfield wastewater enough to put it on Texas farms? Texas is looking at turning treated produced water into a new water source for agriculture.

This isn’t about your favorite political sports team. This is about protecting Texas from inflation. When both Gina Hinojosa, Sid Miller, and myself are calling for Greg Abbott to suspend the gas tax, you know it’s important. My opponent hasn’t said a word about any of this.

Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland spent 26 years with Border Patrol, including 11 years as a leader in the Big Bend sector. His assessment is clear: a border wall in Big Bend is not necessary. We can keep our border secure without taking private land and scarring one of Texas' greatest treasures.

Nearly 700+ Jacinto City residents are standing up to these Corrupt Bigshots. Their community is fighting back against an AI data center that could put their water, power, and quality of life at risk. Texans across our state are proving what happens when organized people stand together.

Every Texas school should have the chance to grow its own food. School community gardens can put fresh food in kids’ hands while teaching the next generation how to grow it themselves. We can fight childhood hunger right where our kids learn.

Texas is staring down an 11-gigawatt AI data center campus in the Panhandle. Project Matador has already secured a state permit for 6 gigawatts of natural-gas power generation. A project this massive raises serious questions about the strain on Texas water, power, and rural communities.

The water problem doesn’t end at the intake pipe. Data centers are already drawing scrutiny over how much water they use. Now their wastewater is raising concerns about what gets put back into our water.

Graphic featuring a Guardian headline reading, “US datacenters face further backlash over wastewater pollution.” The subheadline says cases involving rare bacteria, “forever chemicals,” and other alleged pollution have prompted alarm. Below is an aerial photo of a large data center complex next to an image of a person holding a “NO DATA CENTER” sign.

The greedy few want us fighting each other so we don’t fight them. City or country, red or blue, working Texans have more in common with each other than we ever will with the monopolists rigging our economy. It’s time to unite and break their grip.

Texas farmers should be free to grow hemp, and Texas adults should be free to buy it. Let farmers farm. Test it, label it, keep bad actors out, and stop burying a growing Texas industry in red tape. It’s time to put Texas farmers and consumers first.

Greg Abbott has taken millions from interests tied to the data center boom. Data Nate Sheets has taken big money from AI interests too. No wonder Data Nate wants to call these corporations our “strategic partners.” He’s Abbott’s lapdog, and Big Tech knows exactly who they’re investing in.

Texas needs water. But our farmers and ranchers cannot be the test case for somebody else’s wastewater. Before treated oilfield wastewater is used on Texas farmland, we deserve answers about what’s in it, who’s responsible, and who pays if something goes wrong.

Texas food should come from Texas. If we can grow it here, we should grow it here. If we can process it here, we should process it here. Let's expand GO TEXAN, support local businesses, and make our food local again.

Texans need relief at the pump. I called for suspending the gas tax months ago. Now Commissioner Sid Miller is renewing that call while working Texans keep paying more.

I’ve accepted Spectrum News’ invitation to a live televised debate. Nate Sheets, if you want to be Texas Ag Commissioner, Texans deserve to hear you defend your record and your plans face-to-face. I’ll be there. Will you?

Clayton Tucker @claytontuckertx.com · 16/09/2026

They pissed off a bunch of Texans, and now Texans are organizing. Rural communities know what happens when the Greedy Few get to write the rules and take what they want. History is rhyming, and rural Texans are ready to lead again.

AI data centers can change a community long before anyone realizes what’s coming. Today, I spoke before the Brewster County Commissioners Court about what Texans are already seeing elsewhere: pollution, constant noise, rising housing costs, and the loss of our dark Texas skies.

Clayton Tucker @claytontuckertx.com · 15/09/2026

Data Nate calls AI data centers "strategic partners." I call them the Thieving Elite coming for our water, power, and resources. It's time to put the brakes on AI data centers before they take even more from working Texans. Organized people can beat organized money, but we need you in this fight.

Beef prices are through the roof while family farmers still aren't the ones getting rich. From the meatpackers to the grocery aisle, the Greedy Few have too much power over our food and what we pay for it. It's time to bust the food monopolies and give power back to farmers and working families.
