Thom Tillis

Imagine a grown-up who works in a big building in Washington, D.C. That's Thom Tillis! He's a politician, which means he's like a helper for our country.

He was born a long, long time ago, on August 30, 1960. Before he became a senator, he used to be a businessman, which means he helped run companies. Now, he's a United States Senator for North Carolina, which is a state in America.

He's been doing this job since 2015!

Thom Tillis has a super important job! He's a United States Senator. Think of it like being a class president for a whole state!

He helps make rules and laws that affect everyone. He used to be the speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, which is like being the leader of a big team of helpers for that state. He was chosen for his big senator job in 2014 and then chosen again in 2020 because people liked how he was doing his work.

Sometimes, grown-ups have to make tough choices. Thom Tillis has voted for laws that help keep people safe, like giving money to states to help with safety programs. He also voted for a law that says everyone should be treated fairly, no matter who they love.

He believes that people who come to America without papers should have a chance to become citizens. He even sometimes disagreed with big decisions made by the President!

Thom Tillis works on special teams called committees. These committees are like clubs where senators learn a lot about one thing and help make decisions about it. He's on committees for things like banking, helping veterans, and making sure countries work together.

He's also on a committee that helps with justice. He's decided that he won't run for senator again after his current job is done in 2026. That means he's looking forward to his next adventure!
