Congressman Pat Harrigan has recently addressed several national and state issues in a series of posts on his social media account. The topics include concerns for military personnel, the impact of federal mandates on North Carolina’s agriculture sector, and positive economic developments.
On August 6, 2025, Harrigan expressed concern for the safety of American troops at home, posting: “Our troops put everything on the line to protect this country, they should never have to look over their shoulder at home.
Praying the evil behind this is brought to justice quickly!”
Later that day, Harrigan criticized federal regulations affecting local agriculture, stating: “Biden may be gone, but his H-2A mandates are still hammering North Carolina’s $111 billion agriculture industry.
I joined 84 colleagues demanding the @USDOL scrap these job-killing rules and give our farmers the workforce they need to survive.” This message reflects ongoing debates about labor requirements in U.S. farming and their effect on states like North Carolina.
In an additional post from August 6, 2025, Harrigan commented on recent economic news: “Excellent news for the American people.
More jobs, more investment, and more proof that when we put America first, our economy follows!”
Pat Harrigan was elected to Congress in 2024 after defeating Ralph R. Scott, Jr., securing 57.5% of the vote against Scott’s 38.2%. This electoral victory positioned him as a key representative for North Carolina amid discussions about agricultural policy and economic growth.
