WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) issued the following statement on Congressman G.K. Butterfield’s retirement:
“Representative G.K. Butterfield has been a key member of the North Carolina delegation and he will be missed. It has been an honor working alongside him to secure key wins for HBCUs, infrastructure projects, and economic development for eastern North Carolina. I look forward to continuing our work this Congress to finally grant full federal recognition to the Lumbee Indian Tribe. Susan and I wish him the best in his retirement and appreciate his work for North Carolinians.”
