Rubio Campaign Press Release - North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis Makes His Pick for President

February 22, 2016

North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis has made his pick for president, and it's Marco:

I'm supporting @marcorubio for president because he has an unmatched ability to inspire and uplift the American people.

— Thom Tillis (@ThomTillis) February 22, 2016

.@marcorubio represents a bright future for the GOP & America. He'll draw new people into the party, crucial in a swing state like NC.

Tillis has something in common with Marco: They both amassed conservative records as Speaker of their state houses before joining the Senate.

He helped Republicans retake the U.S. Senate in 2014 by beating Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan.

He's a major addition to the team ahead of North Carolina's primary on March 15th. Welcome to Team Marco!
