North Carolina’s junior U.S. senator and seven of the Republicans who served in the last Congress earn “Taxpayer Super Hero” ratings. That’s according to the latest calculations from the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste.
The group’s 2020 Congressional Ratings, released this month, name Sen. Thom Tillis as one of 10 Senate “Taxpayer Super Heroes.” That means Tillis earned a perfect score of 100 on 11 votes the council graded last year.
Seven N.C. representatives were among the 80 members of the U.S. House of Representatives to earn “Taxpayer Super Hero” status. They scored 100 on 35 votes the council monitored in 2020.
