Here’s a quick rundown of the claims made in Thom Tillis’s email:
“Wiley Nickel is a failed politician.”FALSE. From serving in President Obama's administration, to representing North Carolina for two terms in the State Senate, to flipping an ‘unwinnable’ district to serve in Congress where he fought to make life more affordable and end partisan gerrymandering — Wiley is the real deal.
“Wiley Nickel is too extreme for North Carolina.”FALSE. Wiley has reached across the aisle many times to find solutions for everything from housing affordability to paid family leave to childcare costs to economic policies for working families.
“This is the most competitive Senate race in the country.”TRUE! A broken clock is right twice a day, John. Tillis knows that spreading lies about Wiley’s record is the only way he’ll win this race — let’s show him that North Carolinians aren’t buying what he’s selling.
