Today, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis Endorsed Marco Rubio for president. Senator Tillis's endorsement follows a strong showing in South Carolina for Marco and growing momentum across the country. The Senator will be joining a strong group of North Carolina state legislators supporting Marco.

Senator Tillis was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014 and serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senate Armed Services Committee, Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, and the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Before being elected to the Senate in 2014, Tillis was a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, where he served as Speaker of the House.

"Like myself, Marco came from humble beginnings and worked very hard to get to where he is today. Marco lived the American Dream, and he will ensure that each and every one of us can do the same," said Senator Thom Tillis. "I'm supporting Marco Rubio for president because he has an unmatched ability to inspire and uplift the American people. Through his vision of optimism and his strength of principle, Marco Rubio represents a bright future for the Republican Party and America. He has the unique capability of drawing new people into the party, which is critically important in a swing state like North Carolina."
