In response to reports that Republicans are dumping money into the Democratic primary in North Carolina to try to ensure Sen. Thom Tillis’ (R-NC) re-election, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue and NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina Executive Director Tara Romano released the following statement:
“These types of dirty tricks are despicable. North Carolinians deserve a voice in Congress who reflects their values of reproductive freedom and of democracy. North Carolinians also deserve transparent campaigns that allow them to fairly choose the candidate that best represents their values, not manipulative tactics designed to deceive. Let’s be clear: North Carolinians deserve a champion for reproductive freedom in the U.S. Senate. Thom Tillis, an anti-choice Trump acolyte, has no business representing the great state of North Carolina.”
