Some highlights include; * Gaining access for chilled meat into China and regaining access for meat exports to Iran * Modernising the Animal Welfare Act so practices better meet consumer expectations, such as bobby calf management * Introduced a Border Clearance levy making passengers fund more border services * Highest ever Biosecurity investment resulting in more people, dogs and technology on the front line with strong industry engagement * Supporting rural communities through adverse events like the dairy downturn, prolonged North Canterbury drought, earthquakes and floods. Nathan was a strong voice for water storage projects and helped fund Central Plains stages 1 &amp; 2. * Leading the Government's response to a blackmail threat to infant formula, ending in a successful prosecution * Introduced cameras and other digital tools to deliver greater transparency in the commercial fishing sector Nathan also held other Ministerial positions during his nine years in office, including Minister of Civil Defence, Internal Affairs, Immigration, Veteran Affairs and Racing as well as the Associate Minister for Economic Development, of Justice, and Transport. Nathan entered Parliament as a list MP in 2005 and was Junior then Senior Whip prior to becoming a Minister under Sir John Key. Nathan won the Otaki Electorate seat in 2008 and won the seat for the fourth time in the 2017 general election with a comfortable 6,156 vote majority. He is a strong advocate for Horowhenua and Kapiti and is most proud of his role in the Kapiti Expressway development, which is transforming the region. Nathan had an extensive political career before entering Parliament, previously serving eight years on the Horowhenua District Council. He also has a background in agriculture, having managed the family dairy and beef farm and receiving a Winston Churchill Fellowship to study beef exports to the United States.

The southern Kapiti Coast district includes Paraparaumu, Waikanae together with the electorate's heart, bustling shoppers destination, Otaki.
