Thomas Roland Tillis[1] (born August 30, 1960) is an American politician serving as the junior United States Senator from North Carolina since 2015. A member of the Republican Party, he served in the North Carolina House of Representatives from 2006, and was Speaker from 2011. He was elected to the United States Senate in 2014, narrowly defeating Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan.[2] He is seeking reelection in 2020.[3]

As speaker of the state House of Representatives, Tillis supported restrictions on abortion and a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. He led the Republican effort to block the expansion of Medicaid in North Carolina and, in the Senate, has repeatedly voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He initially opposed Trump's national emergency declaration to divert funding to a border wall, but ultimately voted for it following pressure from his party.

Tillis tested positive for coronavirus on October 2, 2020. [4]

Early life and education

Tillis was born in Jacksonville, Florida, the son of Margie and Thomas Raymond Tillis, a boat draftsman.[5] He was the oldest boy among six children, with three older sisters. By age 17, his family had moved 20 times, and Tillis never attended the same school in consecutive years, living in New Orleans and Nashville, among other places.[6]

Following his 1978 graduation from high school, Tillis left home to get a job.[7] He then attended Chattanooga State Community College before receiving a bachelor's degree in technology management from the University of Maryland University College in 1996.[6][7][8]

Career

After high school, Tillis worked at Provident Life and Accident Insurance Co. in Chattanooga, Tennessee, helping computerize records in conjunction with Wang Laboratories, a computer company in Boston.[8] Wang eventually hired Tillis to work in its Boston office.[8] He spent two and a half years there before being transferred back to Chattanooga, and then Atlanta.[8] In 1990, he was recruited to work for accounting and consulting firm Price Waterhouse.[8][9] In 1996, Tillis was promoted to partner.[5] In 1998, he and his family moved to Cornelius, North Carolina.[6]

PricewaterhouseCoopers sold its consulting arm to IBM in 2002[10] and Tillis went to IBM as well.[5] Tillis began his political career in 2002 in Cornelius, as he pushed for a local bike trail and was elected to the town's park board. He ran for town commissioner in 2003 and tied for second place.[6]

North Carolina House of Representatives

After a two-year term as town commissioner, Tillis ran for the General Assembly in 2006. He defeated incumbent John W. Rhodes in the Republican primary and went on to win the election unopposed.[7] Tillis was reelected unopposed in 2008, 2010 and 2012. He formally left IBM in 2009.[6] He was campaign chairman for the House Republican Caucus in 2010. After Republicans won a majority in the North Carolina House for the first time since 1998, Tillis was chosen as Speaker, the fifth Republican to hold the role, and was unanimously reelected in 2013.[11][12] Governing magazine named Tillis and North Carolina Senate President pro tempore Phil Berger "GOP Legislators to Watch" in 2011.[13]

State Representative Tillis (2011)

The state house overseen by Tillis restructured the state's tax code,[14] redrew North Carolina's congressional districts,[15][16] and passed legislation to sunset existing state rules and regulations and limit new regulations to a ten-year duration.[17]

After Republican Pat McCrory was elected as governor in 2012, Tillis presided over legislation reducing early voting days, invalidating ballots cast outside one’s precinct, and requiring specific kinds of photo ID in order to vote.[18][19][20] A top Tillis aide had previously requested data on photo ID ownership by race, which showed that black people would be significantly more likely to become unable to vote if such legislation were passed.[18] The restrictions were later struck down by a federal court.[18][19]

In 2014, 14 people protesting cuts to the earned income tax credits program and Tillis’s refusal to expand Medicaid were arrested after staging a sit-in in his office.[21][22][23]

U.S. Senate

2014 election

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Main article: 2014 United States Senate election in North Carolina

In 2014, Tillis announced that he would not seek reeelection to the state House, instead running for U.S. Senate against first-term Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan.[24] In the Republican primary, he was endorsed by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush,[25] then-North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory,[26] former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney,[27] and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.[28] The New York Times called Tillis a "favorite of the party establishment."[29]

During his primary campaign, Tillis skipped four candidate forums and one of three televised primary debates in an effort to avoid lesser-known rivals, and to cement his image as the "inevitable nominee".[30][31] Tillis was criticized during the Republican primary for raising money from groups lobbying the state House, which would be illegal if he were running a state campaign rather than a federal one.[32][33] On May 6, he won the nomination with 45.68% over Greg Brannon and Mark Harris, described as a victory for the Republican establishment over the insurgent Tea Party movement.[34][35]

Tillis was announced the winner of the Senate race on November 4. He received 48.82% of the vote, the lowest winning total in North Carolina history for a U.S. Senate candidate.[36][37]

During the 2014 campaign, the Tillis campaign and the North Carolina Republican Party paid $345,000 to the data analysis firm Cambridge Analytica to microtarget voters.[38] The company later touted their use of "psychographic profiles for all voters in North Carolina" which enabled "tailored messages" for particular audiences during Tillis' campaign.[38] After revelations of illicit data harvesting by the company, NC Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Goodwin asked Tillis whether he had had any knowledge of the data's origins, and whether he would continue to use it in future campaigns.[38][39][40]

In the 2014 election, Tillis received $22,888,975 in "dark money", which constituted 81% of nonparty outside spending in support.[41][42]

Tenure

After the release of the Access Hollywood tape during the 2016 United States presidential election, Tillis called Trump's comments "indefensible".[43] According to Politico, he "began the Trump era by negotiating with Democrats on immigration and co-authoring legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller" but has increasingly aligned himself with the president due to pressure from his party.[44][43] While occasionally criticising Trump's tone, Tillis said in 2017 that he had "not deviated once from any nomination or any vote that the president happens to be supportive of" and has voted with Trump's stated positions 93% of the time as of May 2020.[43][45][46]

In 2016, Tillis opposed filling the then Supreme Court vacancy until after the election, adding the nomination "would be best left to the next president."[47] With around seven months until the 2016 presidential election, Tillis argued that the United States was "in the middle of a presidential election, and the Senate majority is giving the American people a voice to determine the direction of the Supreme Court". In September 2020, with less than two months to the next presidential election, Tillis supported an immediate vote on President Trump's nominee.[48] The day after Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, he said Trump would pick a "well-qualified and conservative jurist" while Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden would pick a "liberal activist".[49]

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Tillis apologised after he was spotted not wearing a face mask in a crowd during Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention, saying “I fell short of my own standard”.[50][51] He was criticized after he suggested that Hispanic people were harder hit because they were less likely to wear masks and practice social distancing.[52][53][54]

2020 election

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Main article: 2020 United States Senate election in North Carolina

Tillis is running for reelection in 2020. He was challenged in the Republican primaries by conservative businessman Garland Tucker, who spent $1.3 million to finance his campaign before dropping out in December 2019, after Trump endorsed all incumbent Republican senators up for election in 2020, including Tillis.[55][56] Tillis won the March 3 Republican primary and will face Democratic nominee Cal Cunningham in the November general election.[57]

In July 2020, Tillis claimed Cunningham had been "silent" on the issue of defunding the police, saying "I assume his silence is consent". PolitiFact rated the claim "False", as Cunningham had spoken publicly about the issue and written an op-ed a month earlier stating his opposition to defunding the police, advocating instead for police reform.[58]

Political positions

Abortion

Tillis opposes abortion.[59] In 2011, while speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, he helped the House pass a law, later struck down by the courts, requiring abortion providers to perform an ultrasound on women seeking abortions four hours before the procedure.[60][61] When the law was struck down, Tillis said that the ultrasound provision was "the most critical part of the law" and that the decision should be appealed.[61] In 2012, he voted to defund Planned Parenthood in North Carolina.[62][63]

In 2013, Tillis supported a motorcycle safety bill which had been surreptitiously amended to include restrictions on abortion.[64][65][43]

In 2014, a Tillis spokesman told The Washington Post that Tillis would support a personhood bill if it were brought to the Senate floor, but only if abortion would continue to be legal "in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in danger" and if women would continue to "have access to contraceptives."[66]

Economic policy

In a 2011 speech, Tillis said, "What we have to do is find a way to divide and conquer the people who are on assistance" by getting people who "had no choice" but to receive public assistance "to look down at these people who choose to get into a condition that makes them dependent on the government."[67][68][65] After a video of the speech was publicized three years later, Tillis faced some blowback, with some likening the comment to Mitt Romney's "47%" remark.[67] Tillis said he regretted the phrasing "divide and conquer" but defended the remark's substance.[68]

In 2014, Tillis opposed increasing the federal minimum wage, and declined to comment on increasing North Carolina's minimum wage from $7.25 an hour after opposing the idea in 2010.[69][70][71] He suggested the government should not set a minimum wage at all, calling it an "artificial threshold" that "drives up costs" and could reduce jobs.[70]

In 2015, Tillis illustrated his attitude towards regulation by saying coffee-shop companies should be able to "opt out" of hand-washing regulations "as long as they post a sign that says, 'We don't require our employees to wash their hands after leaving the restroom.' The market will take care of that."[72][73][74][75]

In January 2018, Tillis was one of 36 Republican senators to sign a letter to Trump requesting he preserve the North American Free Trade Agreement.[76]

Environment

In 2014, Tillis denied that climate change was occurring. In 2015, Tillis had voted against an amendment saying human activity is a contributor to climate change.[77] In 2018, he said human activity was a contributing factor.[78] In a 2018 interview, Tillis said he had shifted his position and now believed climate change is happening,[78] but remains unclear about whether he agrees with scientists that it is human-caused.[79] In his 2020 Senate campaign, Tillis distanced himself from his previous denial of climate change, and somewhat from President Trump, seeking to cast himself as "a moderate proponent of market-based climate solutions."[46]

Tillis holds a 9% lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters.[46] In 2007, he voted for a measure to give North Carolina a renewable portfolio standard; the state is now second in solar energy production.[46] In 2015, during his first speech on the Senate floor, Tillis called for opening up the Atlantic coast of the United States for offshore drilling.[46][80] He opposed the Clean Power Plan and supported Trump's rollback of it.[46][81] In 2017, he called on President Donald Trump to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement.[82][83][84]

Foreign policy

In 2017, Tillis was one of 21 senators who signed a letter condemning the genocide of the Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar.[85]

In 2020, Tillis expressed support for the US military's assassination of Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani by drone strike at the Baghdad International Airport.[86][87]

Gun policy

Tillis has an "A+" rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA), which endorsed him in his 2014 Senate race,[88] spending $2 million on his campaign and $2.45 million in opposition to his opponent.[89] As of 2018, Tillis was the third largest beneficiary of NRA funding in Congress.[89]

After the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting, Tillis voted for Republican bills to increase funding for the federal background check system and delay gun sales for 72 hours for individuals on the terrorist watchlist, while voting against Democratic bills to ban individuals on the terrorist watchlist from purchasing a gun and require background checks at gun shows and during online sales.[90]

Health care

Tillis opposes the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and has repeatedly voted to repeal it.[91][92][93][94] In the state House of Representatives, Tillis had led the Republican effort to block the expansion of Medicaid in North Carolina.[92][93][43][95] As the legislation prevents a governor from expanding the program,[93][43] North Carolina remains one of only 12 states not to have done so as of September 2020.[95] He has said that health care is "not a government responsibility" and that he will "do everything in his power to overturn Obamacare."[96]

In 2018, amid Republican attempts to repeal the ACA, Tillis introduced legislation that would require insurers to cover people with pre-existing conditions. The bill was criticized for containing loopholes which would exempt insurers from covering issues related to pre-existing conditions and for failing to match the ACA's comprehensive non-discrimination provisions.[97][91][93] Tillis subsequently backtracked and said he could make improvements to the bill, and that it was merely intended to start a discussion.[97]

Immigration

In 2017, following Trump's cancellation of Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ("DACA") executive order, Tillis proposed legislation to give undocumented youth ("Dreamers") conditional immigration status, with a pathway to citizenship, if they arrived in the U.S. by January 1, 2012, under age 16, had graduated from high school, and had no serious criminal record. If, during a five-year period, a recipient of conditional immigration status earned a higher-education degree, served in the military or stayed employed, they could apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship. About 2.5 million Dreamers would be eligible.[98]

In February 2019, Tillis wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post opposing Trump's national emergency declaration concerning the southern border, which diverted funding from the Department of Defense to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico.[99] Tillis wrote, "I cannot justify providing the executive with more ways to bypass Congress."[99] Tillis faced pressure from Trump and conservatives to support the emergency declaration, and some conservatives proposed a primary challenge against Tillis in 2020.[100][101] A week after he made his statement reiterating his opposition, Tillis reversed his position and voted for Trump's declaration.[102][103][104][105][95]

Internet and technology

Tillis opposes net neutrality.[106] In 2017, he co-sponsored the Restoring Internet Freedom Act, a bill to nullify the Federal Communications Commission’s Open Internet Order.[107] In March 2017, Tillis voted for the Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal that removed the FCC's internet privacy rules and allowed internet service providers to sell customers' browsing history without their permission.[108]

In May 2020, Tillis voted against an amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to bar warrantless surveillance of web browser history.[109] In April 2020, Tillis, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee's intellectual property panel, wrote that he was concerned that the Internet Archive's "National Emergency Library" initiative, which temporarily expanded access to its 1.4 million-book collection during the coronavirus shutdown, violated copyright law. Tillis argued that the Internet Archive was deciding to "re-write copyright law at the expense of authors, artists, and creators"; the Internet Archive argued that it was a licensed library in the state of California and that the Copyright Act of 1976 "provides flexibility to libraries and others to adjust to changing circumstances."[110]

LGBT rights

In 2012, Tillis, then speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, played a leading role in pushing for North Carolina Amendment 1, a state constitutional amendment that banned same-sex marriage and civil unions.[67][111][112][113] In 2014, he appealed a ruling which deemed it unconstitutional.[114][115][111] Following the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, Tillis announced that he would oppose the ruling in his role as speaker. This stance was relatively unique among major elected North Carolina Republican officials at the time, as others, including then-Governor Pat McCrory, accepted the ruling.[116]

In 2015, in the Senate, Tillis voted in favor of an amendment to a non-binding resolution that would allow same-sex married couples living in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage to have access to government resources.[113][112]

Personal life

Tillis and his third wife, Susan, live in Cornelius, North Carolina, and have two children. Tillis previously twice married and divorced a girlfriend from high school.[67] His brother, Rick, is a state representative in Tennessee.[117] Tillis tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) on October 2, 2020.
