Thom Tillis to Not Seek Re-election to the US Senate

We thank Senator Thom Tillis for his years of service to the people of North Carolina and to the United States, and we wish him well. While we did not always agree with his votes or positions taken in the U.S. Senate, we are very grateful for his important work on behalf of the people of North Carolina.

As a member of the state legislature, Senator Tillis played a lead role in flipping the N.C. General Assembly to a Republican majority and demonstrated steady leadership as Speaker of the N.C. House. In the U.S. Senate, Senator Tillis has been an important voice and has distinguished himself as one of the greatest supporters of our military, especially those wounded in battle.

With Senator Tillis’ decision to not seek re-election to the Senate in 2026, North Carolina has an opportunity to elect a conservative who will fight for working families and secure borders.
