Nathan Horner ECA MLA (born 1980/1981) is a Canadian politician who is Alberta's Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation and was elected in the 2019 Alberta general election to represent the electoral district of Drumheller-Stettler in the 30th Alberta Legislature as a member of the United Conservative Party (UCP).^[1]

In addition to being Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, he also is on the Economy and Affordability Cabinet Policy Committee as well as the Emergency Management Cabinet Committee.^[2]^[3] Previously he was Associate Minister of Rural Economic Development, Deputy Chair of the Select Special Democratic Accountability Committee, and had been on the Standing Committee on Alberta's Economic Future, Standing Committee on Private Bills and Private Members’ Public Bills as well as the Standing Committee on Privileges and Elections, Standing Orders and Printing.^[3]

Before being elected, Horner was a rancher and an emergency medical responder. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture from the University of Lethbridge. Nate and his wife, Jennifer, have two young children.^[3]

The Horner family has deep roots in Canadian Conservatism as well as Methodism. Nate is related to Ralph Cecil Horner (b.1854), founder of numerous Holiness movement churches and later the Standard Church of America in 1916.^[4] Horner is also related to Alberta MLA and former deputy-premier Doug Horner and MPs Jack Horner, Hugh Horner, Albert Horner and Norval Horner.^[5] Hugh, Norval, and Jack are the sons of former Canadian senator Ralph Horner.

As Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, Horner supported the Alberta Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit, describing how it would “support growth, diversify the province’s economy and ensure producers have a competitive market for their goods”. The province announced the program would have investments of more than $10 million in the agri-processing industry qualify for a 12 percent tax credit.^[6]

Horner also advocated that the province improve rural access to healthcare and praised Alberta's 2023 budget.^[7]

He was re-elected in the 2023 Alberta general election.^[8]
