SANFORD For months, Republican Thom Tillis’ Senate campaign touted his accomplishments and focused his attacks on Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan, acting like a frontrunner with his eye on November.
Now, in the final days before the May 6 primary, Tillis is changing his strategy. Last week, he mailed a flier to voters that attacked his top GOP rival for not paying his property taxes on time. He also debuted a TV ad that trumpets his opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage.
Tillis hit the social conservative issues Saturday in his speech at the 2nd Congressional District GOP convention in Sanford. “We need a Congress that understands the sanctity of life, the sanctity of traditional values, the sanctity of traditional marriage,” he said.
The shift in approach is an uneasy transition for the House speaker, who is not a loud voice on social conservative issues compared to Greg Brannon, a Cary obstetrician and tea party candidate who wants to outlaw abortion, and Mark Harris, a Charlotte pastor who helped lead the 2012 campaign to ban gay marriage.
