Assessments
Tillis promised during the 2020 federal Senate campaign to continue prioritizing North Carolina infrastructure. In the following Senate term, he voted for final Senate passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, publicly identified himself as part of the bipartisan group that negotiated and drafted it, and later announced concrete North Carolina infrastructure funding from that law, including broadband, water, transit, roads, bridges, airports, and resiliency categories. The promise was broad but the record shows both prioritization and tangible in-state infrastructure delivery during the same elected term.
Tillis’s 2020 federal reelection promise was to continue prioritizing infrastructure in North Carolina during his Senate service. In the ensuing term, he voted for final Senate passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on August 10, 2021, publicly said he worked in the bipartisan infrastructure group to shape the package for North Carolina, and later announced concrete North Carolina benefits including broadband, clean water, and rural transit funding. He also introduced a North Carolina-specific highway bill, which further supports that he materially prioritized the issue. Because the promise was about prioritization and improvement rather than a single narrowly defined project, these legislative and advocacy actions are sufficient to count as delivered during the same term.
Tillis supported and materially advanced federal infrastructure investments for North Carolina during his Senate term after the 2020 campaign. He voted Yea on the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684) in August 2021, publicly credited his work on the package, and subsequently announced multiple concrete federal awards to NC (e.g., $1.53B for broadband, $41.8M for clean water projects, $10.4M for rural transit). He also introduced S.4990 to improve a specific highway corridor. These actions constitute concrete delivery on the promise to prioritize improving NC infrastructure.
Tillis promised during his 2020 federal Senate reelection campaign to continue prioritizing North Carolina infrastructure. In the subsequent Senate term, he voted for final Senate passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021 and publicly tied his work on the bipartisan infrastructure package to North Carolina roads, highways, bridges, clean water, broadband, and transit. Later announced federal awards for broadband, water infrastructure, and rural transit in North Carolina further show the promised prioritization produced concrete in-state infrastructure benefits during the same elected term.
