Schwertner also serves as a member of the Senate Committees on Finance, Administration, Business & Commerce and State Affairs. In September 2013, Senator Schwertner was also named to the powerful Sunset Advisory Commission, a 12-member legislative body charged with providing a comprehensive periodic review of more than 150 state agencies.
For his leadership in the Texas Legislature, Senator Schwertner has been named a "Taxpayer Advocate" by Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, a "Fighter for Free Enterprise" by the Texas Association of Business, a "Courageous Conservative" by the Texas Conservative Coalition, a "Lone Star Conservative Leader" by the Texas Conservative Roundtable, and "Senate Freshman of the Year" by Texas Monthly magazine.
Charles comes from six generations of farming and ranching in Texas. In addition to his role in the Texas Legislature, Dr. Schwertner also works as a practicing orthopedic surgeon, treating thousands of patients in Williamson and Milam counties each year. He and his wife Belinda (an obstetrician/gynecologist) reside in Georgetown with their three sons: Carson, Zachary, and Matthew.
