Nathan Roberts, who currently resides in Lake County, is a Statewide Field Representative for Turning Point Action, a co-founder of Save Heritage Indiana, a Recount Watcher for the Copenhaver/Deery recount, an 11th generation Hoosier, and a 17th generation American.  Nathan Roberts expounds on the TPAction organization, his work experiences as a Statewide Field Representative, and the roles of ballot chasers. Nathan Roberts saw a need for an organization to check mass migration to Indiana and to counter the massive lobbying and funding for immigration to Indiana by corporate donors; thus, he co-founded Save Heritage Indiana. Nathan attended several Copenhaver/Deery recounts in various Hoosier counties and shares those duties and exploits as a recount watcher. Nathan prioritizes three areas that Indiana can strengthen elections and further election integrity. Nathan outlines the Bible, pastors, and mentors as his Hoosier Godly resources to share. Nathan Roberts is another example of a youthful Hoosier doing extraordinary work in Indiana by finding his niche in engaging voters and perfecting colloquy.
