Moran speaks to Atlanta Lions Club

U.S. Congressman Nathaniel Moran was invited to speak to members of the Atlanta Lions Club on Feb. 15.

Moran discussed views he used during his campaign but also brought light to new things our country is facing.

“You must lead with great authority and there are things we must work on together to get this country headed in the right direction,” Moran remarked. “It will take some time but if we work together, we can accomplish so many great things.”

Moran was born in Arizona but his parents moved to east Texas to develop a Bible college when he was very young.

His roots and knowledge of east Texas is something he likes to discuss with others no matter where he is.

“The spirit of giving is ingrained in people from east Texas. East Texans help in many ways and circumstances,” Moran said. “They are quick to help in their communities, with food banks, in schools and plenty of other places of need. I wish that all areas of government were comprised of east Texans because you are quick to help and work together to solve problems. When disaster strikes Texans show up.”

Moran puts himself in that light as an east Texan from a political standpoint.

“My role is service. It’s not a right, it’s a responsibility. God has given me a chance to help people,” Moran said. “I’m expected to work hard and that’s what I’m going to do. You as voters expect that. Liberty leads to prosperity which leads to generosity. I want to provide as much liberty as I can which is my mission.”

Moran says his decision to enter public service stems from the Christian values his parents instilled in him from a young age.

He played QB at Whitehouse High School which is where two-time Superbowl champion Patrick Mahomes played football.

“Our winless season in 1992 and our 1-win season in 1993 set up Patrick’s success there years later,” Moran joked.

After graduating in 1993, Moran attended West Point for two years and enrolled at Texas Tech University for both college and law school.

Moran has been on the Tyler City Council, the Smith County Commissioners Court and was elected county judge. He held the judge’s position for four years until he won the congressional seat in November of 2022.

Moran also discussed his role on the three different committees he’s a part of.

“House members are usually limited to serving on two committees and four subcommittees, with a few exceptions,” Moran said.

He’s on the House Judiciary Committee, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Moran touched on each of those committees with a broad reach of understanding.

He explained that he’s deeply committed to helping the American people in each capacity especially when it came to education of our children.

Moran enjoys the opportunities given to reach out to others and discuss topics of which he wants to maintain balance.

Before the closing of his speech to the Lions Club he introduced two important people who have made his job a little easier. Robbin Bass and Jalam Lewis.

Robbin Bass is his Deputy District Director who prior to joining Congressman Moran’s office, served as the Director for Business Retention and Expansion for the Texarkana Regional Chamber of Commerce, focusing on business and economic development.

Jalam Lewis is his Senior Advisor. Jalam previously served on Judge Moran’s campaign for Congress, building meaningful relationships throughout the First District. He serves on the Pastoral Staff at his home church and serves as the State Chaplain for the Texas Young Republicans.
