State Rep. Thom Tillis will endorse Fred Smith.
Tillis will announce the endorsement tonight at one of Smith's barbecues at Cornelius Town Hall in North Mecklenburg. He thinks Smith is the best candidate to represent the voters in the 98th district he represents.
"Fred Smith has an extraordinary resume with the right mix of business background, legal training and public service at the county and state level," Tillis said.
He also said Smith is a favorite of the Republicans in the General Assembly and of the Mecklenburg Republican House delegation.
