John,

Last night, Senator Thom Tillis once again showed his true colors by saying one thing and doing another. He spoke out against Trump’s tariff plan, claiming concern for North Carolina’s hardworking families and farmers, but when it came time to take action, he voted to support those very tariffs. This betrayal means higher prices for everyday necessities and significant financial strain for North Carolina’s working families.

Tweet from Wiley Nickel (@WileyNickel): Thom Tillis admitted that Trump’s tariffs will hurt NC farmers and then turned around and voted against the Senate resolution to roll them back. He knew the right thing to do but caved to Trump again. Embedded Tweet from Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump): "One crop away from bankruptcy" Republican Senator Thom Tillis warns Trump’s tariffs will do “irreparable” damage to farmers.

President Trump’s sweeping tariffs will take a sledgehammer to U.S. trade policy, sending markets into a downward spiral and costing American families an average of $3,500 per year. The direct impact on North Carolinians is immense, with families struggling to afford groceries and farmers facing unpredictable prices and retaliatory tariffs. Tillis’s alignment with Trump’s destructive policies shows us where his loyalties lie.

North Carolina deserves better. We need a leader who will genuinely stand up for our values, not just pay lip service while voting against our well-being. It's time for a leadership change that prioritizes the needs of North Carolinians.

We’re on to Tillis and his deceptive games, and we need your support to hold him accountable. Will you consider making a contribution to help us expose his betrayals and fight for the leadership North Carolina deserves?
