Congressman Pat Harrigan, a representative known for his active engagement on social media, recently shared several updates on various issues through his Twitter account. His posts covered topics from gas prices in North Carolina to legislative measures addressing national security and agricultural policies.
On July 2, 2025, Congressman Harrigan noted the decrease in gas prices across the United States, highlighting that “Gas prices are falling across the country, and North Carolina is no exception.” He reported that drivers in North Carolina are currently paying an average of $2.86 per gallon, which marks a decline of over five cents from the previous week, fifteen cents from last month, and more than thirty cents compared to the previous year. He attributed these changes to President Biden’s energy policies.
Later that day, at 15:55 UTC, Harrigan addressed national security concerns by referencing recent arrests related to espionage activities. In his tweet he stated: “Just days after I introduced my FAFO Act, two Chinese nationals have been arrested for spying on U.S. Navy personnel and recruiting for the CCP.” The Congressman emphasized that such incidents underline the importance of his proposed legislation aimed at countering espionage threats from countries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
In another post made at 22:49 UTC on the same day, Harrigan discussed agricultural policy with reference to estate taxes affecting family farms. He supported efforts to maintain exemptions for these farms by saying: “He’s exactly right. The death tax threatens the future of family farms across America.” Through what he called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” he aims to protect thousands of family-owned farms in North Carolina’s 10th district from losing their full death tax exemption.
