Who is Nehemiah Lawson? Charity Lawson’s brother assesses suitors during The Bachelorette season 20 premiere

Season 20 of The Bachelorette is set to debut on Monday, June 26, 2023, at 9 pm ET on ABC. The show will feature Charity Lawson as its main cast member this season. Prior to this, Charity Lawson appeared on season 27 of The Bachelor featuring Zach Shallcross.

Charity and Zach built a great connection, but Zach ended up falling in love with another cast member, Kaity Biggar. Although Charity did not find her perfect match in season 27 of The Bachelor, it seems like she has one more chance to find her soul mate.

As part of this season's Bachelorette, 25 suitors will compete not only for Charity's heart but also for the approval of his brother, Nehemiah Lawson.

Currently, Nehemiah is working at SouthPark Pediatric Dentistry as a Pediatric Dentist. To understand all the suitors appearing in this season of The Bachelorette, he devised a plan.

Several clips were shared before the premiere of the show, The Bachelorette, showing Nehemiah going undercover to check on the suitors.
