Thomas Moses McInnis (born April 16, 1954) is an American politician. He was elected to the North Carolina State Senate in 2014. A Republican, he serves the 25th District which previously included Anson, Richmond, Scotland, Stanly and a portion of Rowan counties. Due to the redrawing of the legislative district maps in 2018, District 25 now includes Anson, Moore, Richmond and Scotland Counties.[1]
McInnis was born in Richmond County, North Carolina. The son of a farmer and a public-school teacher, he grew up in a modest, working-class family on a farm in Richmond County. He learned from his parents the value of a dollar, the importance of a relevant education, and how to work hard to earn a living. He put himself through school and began a business in the auction marketing industry, Iron Horse Auction Company, in 1983. According to "The Land Report," Iron Horse Auction Company was named one of the Top 10 Auction companies in the United States in 2013.[2] [3]
