Raleigh – North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Goodwin released the following statement after Senator Tillis officially filed for reelection:

“Senator Tillis is the least popular Senator in the country for a simple reason: he’s a flip-flopping fraud and North Carolinians can’t trust him. Whether in Raleigh or D.C., he has put his special interest backers and party leaders ahead of hardworking North Carolina families, slashing taxes for wealthy corporations on the backs of our teachers, blocking Medicaid expansion, and voting to gut protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Senator Tillis is a typical self-serving Washington politician who puts himself before what’s right for our state, which is why North Carolina will send a new, independent voice to the Senate next year.”
