Congressman Pat Harrigan, who secured his seat after defeating Ralph R. Scott, Jr. in the 2024 general election, addressed several policy issues and legislative actions through a series of posts on September 16, 2025.
In a post published at 15:16 UTC, Harrigan expressed gratitude to Kash Patel and emphasized his stance on criminal justice policies. He stated: “Thank you, @Kash_Patel. A safer America is built on CONSEQUENCES. End cashless bail. End catch-and-release. Put violent offenders behind bars where they belong.”
Later that day at 15:46 UTC, Harrigan shared a message regarding public commentary by Sam Hyde, focusing on its emotional impact and broader implications. He wrote: “Everyone needs to see this.

Harrigan’s recent statements reflect ongoing national debates over criminal justice reform and digital asset policy.

Harrigan was elected to Congress after winning against Ralph R. Scott, Jr., receiving 57.5% of the vote compared to Scott’s 38.2% in the 2024 general election.
