In a stunning blow to Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, Gov. Greg Abbott endorsed Miller’s Republican primary challenger for agriculture commissioner, putting his support behind first-time political candidate Nate Sheets.
“Texans deserve an Agriculture Commissioner who is focused on promoting Texas Agriculture, with zero tolerance for criminality,” Abbott wrote Wednesday on social media. “Nate Sheets is the true conservative champion for the job and is the leader we need to keep Texas the global powerhouse in agriculture.”
