In November, Rep. Tillis hosted a citizen survey to gather opinions on transportation, including roads and mass transit.  We received a significant response with more than 500 citizens providing complete and authenticated surveys.  Tillis says, "The citizens have clearly stated they want solutions to transportation problems now and they are looking to local and state leaders to provide solutions."  To view a summary of the results, CLICK this link.

Tillis unopposed in NC House 2008 Election

With the closing of campaign filings on February 29th, Rep. Thom Tillis will have no opponent in the primary or general elections.  Tillis says "I would like to think this is, in part, an endorsement for the work I am doing on behalf of the citizens in the 98th District.  I look forward to building on the momentum we have built in my first term, and to delivering on my commitment to find ways to improve roads and education.

In Tillis' freshman year, he succeeded in getting several "substantive" bills as summarized in a report by the North Carolina General Assembly staff.  Tillis says "I am very proud of important legislation where I played a significant role in getting laws passed that reduce crime, discourage underage drinking, and improve North Carolina's standing as an attractive place to do business.  I am equally proud of the strong working relationship I have established with the Towns in passing local legislation to help them better serve the citizens of our district."

Tillis Publishes information on "Transportation 20/20"

Tillis announced the formation of a group focused on maintaining momentum for solving transportation problems in North Mecklenburg.  Tillis says "This group will be a vital component of our strategy to keep the pressure on the organizations responsible for prioritizing, funding, and building roads."  The committee will be composed of business leaders, community advocates, and individuals dedicated to bring meaningful short- and long-term solutions to critical transportation problems in North Mecklenburg.  Tillis says, the Transportation 20/20 members will know the process and will have the ability to "pack a room" when we need to have our voice heard.
