Congressman Pat Harrigan, who represents North Carolina’s 10th congressional district, recently posted a series of statements on social media highlighting his meetings with local officials and addressing national policy concerns.
On August 18, 2025, Harrigan shared details about his engagement with law enforcement in Lincoln County. He wrote, “I met with Sheriff Bill Beam in Lincoln County to talk about the tough realities law enforcement faces every day. Our officers carry a heavy burden, and I’ll always stand with them to ensure they have the resources and respect they deserve.”
Later that same day, Harrigan commented on discussions held with regional leaders regarding federal policies and their impact on local communities. In his post he stated, “Appreciated the chance to sit down with the Centralina Council and local leaders from #NC10 to talk about my work in Washington, tariffs, and the One Big Beautiful Bill. We had a great back-and-forth on how these issues connect to the needs of our region here at home.”
On August 19, 2025, Harrigan addressed an incident involving three American fatalities linked to California licensing practices. He wrote: “Three Americans are dead because @GavinNewsom’s California gave a commercial license to someone who never should have been here in the first place. This is what happens when politicians value their ideology more than the lives of the people they are sworn to protect.”
Harrigan was elected as representative for North Carolina’s 10th district after defeating Ralph R. Scott, Jr. in the 2024 general election by securing approximately 57.5% of the vote.
