Fort Worth politician, pastor to oversee election integrity in Abbott’s office
Gov. Greg Abbott tapped former Fort Worth state representative and Mercy Culture pastor Nate Schatzline to be a senior adviser in the governor’s office.
Schatzline, a Republican, announced he would not seek reelection for Texas House District 93 in October. Instead, he became senior director of the National Faith Advisory Board, a Christian conservative group founded by President Donald Trump to push for traditional and biblical values in national policy.
In a post on X, Schatzline said he officially resigned from his seat in the state Legislature and is looking forward to helping Abbott make Texas the blueprint for election integrity.
In the governor’s office, Schatzline will lead election integrity policy development and legislative strategy.
“Nate Schatzline is a dedicated conservative leader with a proven record in the fight for election integrity,” said Governor Abbott. “His experience in the Texas House and service in the Trump Administration will be a tremendous asset as we protect the voices of Texas voters.”
While working in the Texas Legislature, Schatzline was one of the most conservative members. He pushed for Bible-backed politics, supported putting the Ten Commandments monument on the Tarrant County Courthouse lawn and commended his children’s school on their low vaccination rate.
