Welcome to our Team Tillis newsletter, where we discuss what Thom has been up
to from the campaign trail to Capitol Hill, and everything in between!
Dear Friend,
Late last night, the Senate passed a bipartisan government funding bill that
includes more than $100 billion in disaster relief for states and communities
hit by natural disasters, including North Carolina during Hurricane Helene.
“Western North Carolina will need significant resources to be made whole
again, and I'm proud to have worked alongside my colleagues in both parties to
secure this critical funding,” Senator Tillis said. “Now, the long-term
rebuilding process can begin.”
For months, Senator Tillis has worked with congressional leaders and
appropriators to deliver on the $100 billion appropriation. He also
successfully secured a number of key provisions in the legislation, including
mandates to deliver federal assistance to Western North Carolina sooner.
On top of that, it’s been a busy month for Team Tillis both on Capitol Hill
and in North Carolina. Senator Tillis has been working hard to prepare for the
opportunities ahead and support our communities, but there’s no slowing down as
we prepare for 2025.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Legislative Highlights: Supporting the Military
This week, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to pass the National Defense
Authorization Act, or NDAA. It will now go to the White House, where President
Biden is expected to sign it into law.
Thom proudly voted in favor of this bill, which will provide more than $290
million for investments in North Carolina military installations and a pay
raise for our servicemembers and their families. This funding will also assist
in rebuilding our nation’s weapon arsenal.
This NDAA is a win for North Carolina and our military.
On the Horizon: Trump Team Confirmations
<[link removed]>
Americans sent a clear message last month by re-electing Donald J. Trump, and
he has wasted no time in nominating his team. We need to give these nominations
a fair hearing and get them quickly confirmed once Republicans retake the
Senate majority in January. But as Thom mentioned in a recent interview on Fox
News Sunday, Democrats have made it clear in past confirmation hearings that
nothing is off-limits.
Nonetheless, Thom’s main focus
<[link removed]>
remains on getting President Trump’s nominees through all four committees he
serves on, which includes making sure Pam Bondi is our next Attorney General
and Kash Patel is our next FBI Director. Now, the Senate needs to be willing to
put in the hours (including weekends) to get President Trump’s team confirmed
as quickly as possible.

North Carolina News: Recovering from Hurricane Helene
<[link removed]>
<[link removed]>
It’s going to take years for Western North Carolina to recover from the
devastating effects of Hurricane Helene. Senators Tillis and Budd are in it for
the long haul, as they made clear ina new piece
<[link removed]>
for The Carolina Journal. We need to remain fully committed to ensuring
long-term recovery assistance moves through Congress quickly.
The people of Western North Carolina have spent their entire lives working
hard, paying taxes, and never asking for anything from the federal government.
Now it is time for their government to return the favor and help them in their
time of greatest need.
