Thom Tillis is Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives and probably the best known of the six Republican candidates who have declared to run against far left progress Kay Hagan this fall for North Carolina’s US Senate seat. So far, Hagan is looking in bad shape. Far left progressives like Kay Hagan aren’t exactly loved in North Carolina, and Hagan’s support of Obama’s is even more troublesome for her. According to the latest Rasmussen poll, Thom Tillis leads Hagan by a whopping 7% at this stage (poll was taken in late January.) Tillis leads Hagan 47% to 40%. While this is obviously great news, it’s a long time between now and the November election. These are the six Republicans who have declared to run against Hagan and her far left progressive liberal policies:
Ted Alexander, former Mayor of Shelby
Greg Brannon, physician and Tea Party activist
Heather Grant, nurse practitioner
Mark Harris, pastor of First Baptist Church of Charlotte and President of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina
Edward Kryn, retired physician
Thom Tillis, Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives
Tea Party Dr. Greg Brannon (who I know nothing about) also leads Hagan. His lead is four – 43% to 39%.
I’m certainly no expert on North Carolina politicians other than far left Hagan, so I don’t know who is best to challenge her.
