Congressman Pat Harrigan, who was elected in 2024 after defeating Ralph R. Scott, Jr., posted a series of statements on his social media account on March 16, 2026, addressing voter ID laws, expressing support for an individual facing health challenges, and criticizing Senate Democrats over Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding.
In a post from March 16, 2026 at 14:30 UTC, Harrigan stated: “83% of Americans want voter ID. The Save America Act delivers it. Ignoring that is not just bad policy, it is how you lose.”
Later the same day at 16:16 UTC, he commented on news regarding Susie Wiles: “Incredibly sad news. Praying for Susie Wiles and wishing her a full and speedy recovery!”
At 16:59 UTC on March 16, Harrigan criticized Senate Democrats’ actions regarding DHS funding: “Senate Democrats have now blocked @DHSgov funding four times, TSA officers missed their paychecks Friday, and they cannot even tell you why. There is no good reason for this other than blind opposition to President Trump, and working Americans are paying the price. Fund DHS”
Harrigan’s remarks come as he continues his tenure following his victory in the 2024 general election where he won with approximately 57.5% of the vote against Ralph R. Scott, Jr., who received about 38.2%.
