Last month we heard from some of our partnered organizations, but this month we will be joined by three of our favorite conservative representatives as they give us a recap from their time spent in the Texas capitol this past legislative session. As we all know, this was one of the worst sessions in recent memory, but some of our legislators would love to spin a different story. Thankfully, it wasn't a total loss, but it's always good to hear first hand, what really happened. So let's take a minute to catch up with these local reps and hear about their experiences this session: the good, the bad, and of course a lot of the ugly. We will be hearing from Nate Schatzline, David Lowe, and Tony Tinderholt about the bills they passed, the ones that failed, and everything that happened behind the scenes. Please be prepared with questions as there will be a good portion of Q&A at this meeting!

About Nate Schatzline:
Nate Schatzline is a proud Christian, and a devoted husband and father of two boys. He is a former pastor, the founder of For Liberty & Justice, an organization that is dedicated to mobilizing the local church to see reformation in government, and he serves as the director of operations for The Justice Reform, an anti-human trafficking organization based out of Fort Worth, Texas.
Nate grew up along with his sister, traveling the world with his mom and dad who were ministers, authors, and business owners. He attributes much of his success to growing up in a loving home where he was taught to work hard, put family first, love people, and honor God in everything he does. He graduated with his bachelor’s degree from Southwestern Assemblies of God University, in Waxahachie, Texas, which is where he met his sweetheart and wife of 9 years, Adrienne. He then went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude with his Master’s Degree in Political Science at Liberty University. Nate says that his wife Adrienne is his best friend and greatest supporter, and his two boys, Jackson and Anderson, are the pride and joy of his life.
Over the last nine years, Nate and Adrienne have served as pastors and have lead a youth and young adult movement dedicated to discipling the next generation of Christ-followers. In addition to his time in ministry, Nate has served as a professor of economics, and has served multiple political campaigns including Republican Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne’s 2020 campaign for Congress. He has also been an overseer of a public school mentorship program that is responsible for mentoring hundreds of at-risk students in multiple cities, and teaching students that they are not the product of their environment, but that they were born on purpose with a purpose.

Now serving in the Texas House of Representatives, Representative Lowe is focused on delivering real solutions for Texans. His legislative priorities include improving mental health services, reforming the juvenile justice system, advancing education reform, ensuring fiscal responsibility, and working toward the long-term elimination of property taxes. As a devoted husband and father of two, he understands the importance of creating a prosperous future for Texas families. He and his family reside in North Richland Hills, where he remains deeply connected to the values and concerns of the district.
