Congressman Pat Harrigan addressed several issues on October 10, 2025, through a series of posts on his official X account. The posts covered topics ranging from an undisclosed tragedy to recent regulatory actions by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and a controversial judicial decision in Charlotte.
In his first post at 18:42 UTC, Harrigan commented on an unspecified event, stating, “This is absolutely horrific. Praying for the victims, their families, and everyone affected.”
Later that evening at 19:09 UTC, he responded to recent FCC actions targeting foreign-manufactured telecommunications equipment. He wrote, “It’s about time! The FCC is finally closing the loopholes that let Chinese spy gear get into our networks. They can’t grandfather in old devices anymore, and they can’t hide banned components inside equipment that looks safe. This should have happened years ago.”
At 20:26 UTC, Harrigan criticized a judicial ruling related to electronic monitoring in Charlotte following testimony from Mary Collins’ grandmother at a Judiciary GOP hearing. He stated, “After hearing Mary Collins’ grandmother testify at the @JudiciaryGOP hearing in Charlotte, Judge Strickland’s decision is an absolute outrage. He didn’t just refuse to revoke America Diehl’s bond, he ELIMINATED her electronic monitoring entirely. A woman charged with helping”
Pat Harrigan was elected to Congress after defeating Ralph R. Scott, Jr. in the 2024 general election with 57.5% of the vote compared to Scott’s 38.2%.
