Later that morning, Harrigan reflected on his role as a freshman member of Congress. He wrote: “We’re at a point in our nation’s history where problems have been allowed to stack up, and as a freshman in Congress I’ve had more influence to address them than I expected.
On @HASCRepublicans and @HouseScience I’m taking them head on—fixing our defense, helping @POTUS achieve” (August 4, 2025).
In an afternoon post, Harrigan highlighted recent legislative achievements by House Republicans. He stated: “One month ago today, the @HouseGOP passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, delivering historic results for hardworking Americans:
