Longtime North Carolina Republican set to launch first 2026 Senate primary challenge to Thom Tillis • NC Newsline
SUMMARY: Andy Nilsson, a retired businessman and former lieutenant governor candidate, is launching a Senate campaign to challenge vulnerable incumbent Republican Sen. Thom Tillis in the closely watched 2026 race. Nilsson has filed with the Federal Election Commission and appears to be creating a campaign website promoting Conservative policies. His early kickoff may be influenced by his low profile since last running for statewide office in 2000. While facing potential primary challenges from the right, Nilsson has historically criticized the party’s rightward shift. Tillis, viewed as vulnerable, has faced criticism from both the right and left for his moderate stance on issues.
