Assessments
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.
