Maria Nate

Idaho

Maria Nate, the Idaho State Director for the State Freedom Caucus Network, brings decades of knowledge and experience from corporate, educational, and political sectors, making her well-versed in grassroots politics. She managed all five of her husband, former Representative Ron Nate’s, legislative campaigns and volunteered on numerous local and state-wide campaigns.

Maria was born and raised in Idaho. After her husband graduated with his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Connecticut, they moved their family back to Idaho, where they both quickly became involved in the community.

Maria served as PTO President, managed three successful school bond elections, and served on the Madison School Board. She was selected as a Trump delegate to the 2020 National Convention and was an alternate to the 2016 and 2008 Republican National Conventions. She currently serves as the Secretary to the Idaho State Republican Party and the Madison County Republican Women’s Club.

She and her husband, Ron, have four children and are now empty-nesters, as their last child joined her siblings at BYU last fall. But the house isn’t completely empty, as they still have one dog and two cats to manage.
