Congressman Pat Harrigan, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, shared several posts on December 17, 2025, addressing topics ranging from support for the U.S. Space Force to critiques of U.S. foreign policy and concerns about road safety.

In his first post, Harrigan highlighted a visit from the U.S. Space Force: “.@SpaceForce stopped by my office today with Christmas cookies! One of the best parts of being on @housescience and @HASCRepublicans is getting to work with these Guardians who are building our future in space. Proud to support their mission.” (December 17, 2025). Harrigan serves on both the House Science Committee and the House Armed Services Committee.

Later that day, Harrigan commented on ongoing international conflict: “The Russia-Ukraine war never should have happened, but Biden’s weakness made it inevitable. Almost four years later, we’re stuck in a forever war because we’ve been peacemealing support to Ukraine instead of using the overwhelming force our military is actually designed to” (December 17, 2025).

In another post addressing public safety concerns, he wrote: “This illegal alien truck driver killed Robert Pearson after crushing his car between two semis without attempting to brake. Investigators say he falsified his electronic logbook, raising serious questions about whether he could even read the federal safety regulations he was” (December 17, 2025).

Pat Harrigan won re-election in 2024 against Ralph R. Scott, Jr., securing approximately 57.5% of the vote compared to Scott’s 38.2%.
