As a prosecutor, a legislator and as our next Attorney General, Nate Steel has made it his work to fight for us—our families, our state and our communities.
Nate Steel grew up in a small town in South Arkansas where he learned the values of hard work, self-reliance and right and wrong. Never one to sit on the sidelines, when Nate saw a problem, he wanted to be part of the solution. He was never one to back away from a tough fight.
After law school, Nate could have taken a job as just another “tall-building lawyer” with a big paycheck. But instead, at 25 years old, he returned to Howard County to join the family business and practice with his father, George Steel, Jr. and to become a prosecutor.
As a prosecutor, Nate fought to protect victims and law-abiding citizens from those who would do them harm. He never backed away from the toughest cases to put criminals behind bars.
As a small business owner, Nate worked hard to provide jobs and uphold the standards of the five generations that came before him. Nate chose to serve the community that had invested in him. He chose to represent Arkansas farmers and ranchers over business interests.
Continuing the service he set out to do, Nate ran for and was elected to the State Legislature with the backing of law enforcement in his district. In the Arkansas House of Representatives, Nate Steel dedicated himself to fighting for the rule of law and to crack down on criminals while giving law enforcement and prosecutors the tools they needed to make Arkansas a safer place to live and raise a family. Nate cracked down on forgery and theft, and made it so that convicted criminals could not profit from their crimes by selling their stories from jail. Nate worked across party lines to enact legislation to guard the privacy rights of law-abiding citizens in Arkansas. Because Nate believes that the rule of law must come before politics, he served on the Judiciary Committee of the State House
As vice chairman of the Agriculture, Forestry and Economic Development Committee, Nate worked to support Arkansas farmers, grow our economy and create jobs across the state. As a member of the Joint Budget Committee, Nate fought to keep Arkansas’s budget balanced and to keep our state’s fiscal house in order.
Nate Steel is in his third term representing District 19 in the Arkansas House of Representatives. He is a graduate of Nashville High School and earned his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Arkansas. He serves on the Howard Memorial Hospital Foundation Board of Directors, the Cossatot Community College UofA Foundation Board of Directors and CASA for Children Board of Advisors. Nate is a member of the First United Methodist Church of Nashville, Arkansas.
