Congressman Pat Harrigan, who represents North Carolina’s 10th district, recently addressed several key issues and events in a series of social media posts.

On January 9, 2026, Harrigan drew attention to a federal audit regarding commercial driver’s licenses in North Carolina. He stated, ” BREAKING: A federal audit found 54%, MORE THAN HALF, of commercial driver’s licenses in North Carolina were improperly issued. So today, I led a letter to @NC_Governor demanding immediate action before this failure puts lives at risk and costs taxpayers nearly $50 million in https://t.co/wgIJVkZ1oY”. The congressman called for urgent measures from the governor to address the issue.

Later that day, Harrigan commented on an international sports development involving his district. On January 9, 2026, he posted, “A pretty special moment for #NC10. The German Men’s National Team choosing our district as its World Cup home base speaks volumes about what this region has to offer. https://t.co/wLPmBNQ29t”.

In another post on January 9, 2026, Harrigan paid tribute to Greg Biffle during remarks on the House floor. He wrote, “Honored to speak on the House floor about the life of Greg Biffle. Known to the world for racing, but back home in North Carolina, he’ll be remembered for flying into danger to help neighbors after Hurricane Helene. On the track and in the air, Greg was a hero. https://t.co/5NHdPImihp”.

Pat Harrigan won his seat in Congress by defeating Ralph R. Scott, Jr. in the 2024 general election with 57.5% of the vote compared to Scott’s 38.2%.
