North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) released the following statement this evening regarding the passing of Rep. William Wainwright:
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of Rep. William Wainwright. He was a dedicated public servant who was known for his deeply-held faith and the passion he brought to every aspect of his life. He was respected by members on both sides of the aisle, and the halls of the General Assembly will not be the same without him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this difficult time.”
