Tillis Campaign Announces Statewide Grassroots Leadership Team

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Ahead of a major speech to the North Carolina Federation of Republican Women tonight about his message to voters one year out from Election Day, Senator Thom Tillis Friday announced his statewide grassroots leadership team for 2020. This diverse group of political veterans will head the effort to organize volunteers in their respective regions for the primary and general elections as the campaign continues to build out its political infrastructure.

The Tillis Grassroots Leadership Team includes current and former state legislators, other local elected officials, as well as county party leaders. This is just the first of multiple grassroots coalitions that the Tillis campaign will be unveiling in the coming weeks.

“Putting together a strong grassroots movement will be essential to winning in 2020, and I am honored to have the support of such a great group of experienced and dedicated individuals to help me do so,” said Senator Tillis. “Conservatives across the state are energized by the work President Trump and I have done together to secure the border, confirm constitutionalist judges, create jobs, and support our military. I look forward to continuing to run an aggressive campaign and sharing with all North Carolinians my ideas for building on these accomplishments.”

A full list of those making up the Tillis Grassroots Leadership Team can be found below and is organized alphabetically by region.
