Congressman Pat Harrigan, who won the 2024 general election with 57.5% of the vote against Ralph R. Scott, Jr., has recently shared a series of posts on his official X account highlighting issues ranging from public safety to national security.
On December 8, 2025, Harrigan posted about crime in local communities, writing: “This is what radical policies are bringing into your community. Meet Oscar Solarzano:
– Prior arrest for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon
– Prior arrest for destroying evidence
– Prior arrest for resisting arrest
– Prior arrest for using a false ID
– Conviction for https://t.co/ifkxZ1PSSw“
Later that day, Harrigan reflected on his team’s legislative efforts over the past year: “If this year had a ‘Congressional Wrapped,’ it would show a simple truth: my team has put in the work.
We moved serious legislation on national security, border enforcement, and military readiness. We focused on problems families actually feel at home, on health care, https://t.co/SCh6cruhP5” (December 8, 2025).
On December 9, 2025, Harrigan turned attention to foreign threats and intellectual property concerns: “China’s been running a $600 billion-a-year heist on American research, and they’re doing it through our own visa system. They place operatives in taxpayer-funded labs, let them access everything from cancer treatments to classified defense tech, then watch them hand it straight https://t.co/VFdo0CHCb8”.
These posts reflect ongoing debates within Congress regarding criminal justice reform and U.S. policy toward China. Harrigan’s remarks come as lawmakers continue to grapple with concerns over domestic safety and international economic competition.
In November 2024, Pat Harrigan secured his seat by defeating Ralph R. Scott, Jr., earning more than half of the votes cast in the general election.
