WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Thom Tillis issued a statement on Senator Sinema's retirement from the U.S. Senate, expressing his admiration for her bipartisan leadership and conviction.

"The Senate will greatly miss Senator Sinema’s strong bipartisan leadership. It has been an honor to work with her to address some of the most pressing challenges facing our nation over the last several years," said Senator Tillis.

He further praised Senator Sinema's courage in upholding her beliefs despite political pressures, stating, "I admire the remarkable courage she has demonstrated by standing up to immense political pressure to nuke the filibuster, staying true to her conviction that the Senate must remain the legislative body that forces bipartisan cooperation."

Senator Tillis also lamented the diminishing presence of leaders like Senator Sinema in politics, describing them as "true leaders who are focused on doing what’s best for our country and getting results for the people they serve instead of feeding the rabid partisans of their base with empty platitudes, false promises, and excuses for getting nothing done."

Senator Sinema's retirement marks the end of an era in the Senate, leaving behind a legacy of bipartisan cooperation and principled leadership.
