Schatzline Advises Abbott on Elections | Houston News

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has tapped Nate Schatzline, a former state rep who once claimed the 2020 election was stolen, to advise him on election integrity — a move that’s sparking controversy as Abbott seeks re-election and Harris County remains a focal point. Schatzline, who resigned his seat to take the role, may soon be eyed for the Secretary of State post, potentially bypassing Senate confirmation. While his advisory role might be fine, his lack of election administration experience could become problematic if he lands a higher office — especially as Texas braces for midterms and scrutiny over election processes intensifies. Meanwhile, current Secretary of State Jane Nelson is reportedly weighing a potential exit, adding fuel to the speculation. Schatzline is already energized to push Abbott’s agenda — and the political chess game is heating up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
