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.

He was appointed into the ministry on July 8, 2021, as Associate Minister of Rural Economic Development. Then on November 5, 2021, he was promoted to a full minister as Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, then known as Agriculture Irrigation, forestry, and Rural Economic Development during the Kenney Ministry. As Minister 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.
Horner also advocated that the province improve rural access to healthcare and praised Alberta's 2023 budget.
He was re-elected in the 2023 Alberta general election.
