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.”
