In the Senate, Dr. Schwertner serves as the Chair of the Senate Committee on Administration, as well as serving on the Senate Committees on Business and Commerce, Education, Finance, and State Affairs.
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. Additionally, Senator Schwertner has been named a CASA Champion for Texas Children, YMCA Champion, and Legislator of the Year by the Texas Assisted Living Association.
Charles comes from a prominent farming and ranching family that has called Texas home for six generations. In addition to his role in the Texas Legislature, Dr. Schwertner also works as a practicing orthopedic surgeon, treating thousands of patients each year. He and his wife Belinda (an obstetrician/gynecologist and current law student) reside in Georgetown. They have three sons: Carson, Zachary, and Matthew, who are all in college.
