Biography
Education and early life
Nater was born in Logan Township (now part of the Township of West Perth), and raised on a family pig farm. He attended Carleton University from 2003 to 2007 and earned a bachelor's degree in public policy and administration. After graduation, he subsequently received a master's degree in public policy at Queen's University in 2008. During this time Nater volunteered and later became special assistant to MP Gary Schellenberger.
Political career
In the 2010 Ontario municipal election, Nater was elected to the Council of the Municipality of West Perth as a representative for the Mitchell Ward. He did not run for re-election in the subsequent municipal election, as he planned to seek the Conservative nomination for Perth-Wellington, vacated due to the impending retirement of long-serving MP Gary Schellenberger.
Nater won the nomination,[1] and was elected in the 2015 Canadian Federal Election.[2][3] Nater currently serves as Vice Chair of the House Standing Committee on Official Languages.[4]
