Incumbent Sid Miller (R) and Nate Sheets (R) are running in the Republican primary for Texas Commissioner of Agriculture on March 3, 2026.

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) endorsed Sheets in January 2026. The Texas Tribune's Kate McGee said the endorsement was "an exceptionally rare rebuke of a fellow Republican official and Trump ally by Abbott, who has mostly stayed out of statewide elected races."^[1] Writing in the Austin American-Statesman, John Moritz said Miller was "among conservatives who sued Abbott for extending early voting periods during the COVID crisis in 2020, and he briefly considered challenging the governor in the 2022 GOP primary."^[2]

In his endorsement, Abbott said, "Texans deserve an Agriculture Commissioner who is focused on promoting Texas Agriculture, with zero tolerance for criminality," referencing Miller's hiring of Todd Smith as chief of staff in 2025.^[3] In 2024, Smith pleaded guilty to one charge of commercial bribery stemming from allegations he had solicited bribes from individuals in exchange for priority consideration of applications for hemp licenses.^[4] In an interview with CBS News Texas, Miller said, "What happened to Todd Smith has happened to numerous Republicans. Keep in mind, this is Travis County, the most liberal DA's office probably in the nation...they came after Todd Smith for this very purpose to get headlines for the election, so they could defeat me."^[5] As of February 20, 2026, President Donald Trump (R) had not endorsed either Miller or Sheets. Trump endorsed Miller in 2018 and 2022.

Miller was first elected agriculture commissioner in 2014 and earlier served 12 years in the Texas House of Representatives. Miller is a rancher who breeds quarter horses.^[6] Miller is running on his record, saying he had "turned deficits into surpluses, crises into comebacks, and opened doors worldwide. But there’s more to do, like fighting federal overreach on endangered species, promoting vocational ag education, and ensuring our water and land stay in Texas hands."^[7] As of February 2026, Texas Right to Life and 10 members of the U.S. House had endorsed Miller.^[8]

Sheets is a businessman and the founder of Nature Nate's honey.^[9] Sheets says he is "a producer, a businessman, and a father who believes Texas needs new leadership rooted in real-world experience and eternal values." Sheets says he is running because he "knows firsthand the challenges that Texas ranchers face — from water access and soil health to labor shortages and government overreach."^[10] Gun Owners of America and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Penn.) endorsed Sheets.^[11]

In 2022, Miller defeated Susan Hays (D) 56%–44%. The last Democrat to win an agriculture commissioner election in Texas was Jim Hightower (D) in 1986.

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

My first action will be to DOGE the agency. My opponent has run it into the ground. He raisied fees on farmers and ranchers. According to the State Auditor, those hikes brought in $27.3 million when the programs cost only $20.8 million. Miller hired his former political advisor as Chief of Staff of the agency AFTER he pled guilty to felony bribery tied to hemp licenses at TDA.. Key duties, like regulating fuel pumps, were stripped from the agency, and Miller was fined by the Texas Ethics Commission for misusing state and campaign funds. As Agriculture Commissioner, my first act will be to audit the agency, cut waste, end cronyism, and make sure every dollar serves Texas farmers, ranchers, and consumers, not political insiders.

The GO TEXAN program was meant to help small family farms reach customers, but it has turned into a taxpayer-funded PR tool. My opponent used it to host a music festival. I would strip out the self-promotion and refocus it on real market access. In its place, I would launch a cost-neutral Texas Agriculture Marketplace that connects farmers and ranchers directly to consumers, retailers, and institutional buyers. Producers would opt in voluntarily and pay a small transaction fee.

We face 2 connected challenges. 1) Agriculture is in serious trouble family farms are disappearing, costs are rising, and producers are earning less. 2) This is happening alongside a major health crisis where 75% of spending is on chronic disease caused by the food we eat and more than 77% of young Americans are disqualified from military service. Texas already spends billions on food for schools, hospitals, and state agencies, much of it flowing to multinational corporations for ultra-processed foods. I will work to redirect existing food dollars toward Texas-grown meat, fruits, & vegetables through smarter procurement. That predictable demand helps family operations stay on the land, creates rural jobs, & keeps food dollars in Texas.

That predictable demand helps family operations stay on the land, creates rural jobs, & keeps food dollars in Texas.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Nate Sheets (R)

1) Fiscal Responsibility: DOGE / Audit agency to cut unnecessary taxes, fees, and regulations

2) MAHA the School lunch program: Prioritize Texas grown produce / meat instead of propping up woke ultra-processed food companies with Texas tax dollars. 3) Stop foreign ownership of farm land: We don't need our enemies in hostile foreign nations controlling the food supply

4) Biosecurity is border security: My opponent voted to give taxfunded benefits to illegal immigrants. He stated Mexico needed more say in Trump's border wall. And most recently, he dropped the ball on the Screwworm crisis threatening our beef supply. I will always stand for secure borders and a secure, safe food supply.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Nate Sheets (R)

Gun Owners of America, Make Texans Healthy Again, Texas Eagle Forum, True Texas Project, Texas College Republicans, Grassroots America – We the People, Cattle Raisers PAC, Texas Cattle Feeders Association BEEF PAC, Kingwood Tea Party, Montgomery County Tea Party, Fort Bend Conservatives, Texas Gun Rights, Veterans for America First PAC, Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, Senator Charles Perry, Senator Angela Paxton, Senator Kevin Sparks, Kelly Shackelford, President and CEO of First Liberty Institute, Mark Meckler, President of Citizens for Self-Governance and Convention of States, Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, and more than a dozen members of the State Republican Executive Committee.
