JEFFERSON CITY — The Missouri Republican Party is pleased to announce Senator Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) as the keynote speaker for the Saturday night banquet at the 2017 Missouri Lincoln Days.
“We are pleased to announce Senator Thom Tillis as the keynote speaker for this year’s Saturday banquet,” said Todd Graves, Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party. “Senator Tillis worked to make his home state a more attractive place to live and do business – and as a U.S. Senator, he promotes policies that generate economic growth on behalf of all Americans. Now, Republicans from across Missouri have the opportunity to hear how he took his experience in business and applied it to making government work more efficiently, easing the burden on taxpayers.”
Senator Thom Tillis is a junior United States Senator from North Carolina. Between 2007 and 2014, Tillis was a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, where he was selected as Speaker of the House in 2011.

He currently serves on several committees including the Senate Armed Services Committee and Veterans’ Affairs Committee; the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee; the Judiciary Committee; and the Senate Special Committee on Aging. Prior to holding public office, Tillis worked as a top-level executive at PricewaterhouseCoopers and IBM.
“We are excited to welcome Senator Tillis to Missouri and look forward to hearing about his vision for our nation,” said Cheryl Dawson-Spaulding, President of the Missouri Association of Republicans. “Thom’s strong stance on veterans and the armed forces are attributes we value here in Missouri.”
