Congressman Pat Harrigan, who won North Carolina’s 2024 congressional election with 57.5% of the vote over Ralph R. Scott, Jr., has recently posted a series of tweets addressing crime and political priorities.

On August 27, 2025, Harrigan commented on an unspecified development, stating: “Long overdue! https://t.co/FvYBmpAxq2”.

The following day, he referenced recent changes in crime statistics: “Amazing how 87% fewer carjackings and 12 murder-free days can flip a politician’s script. https://t.co/vxqsmQO1sS https://t.co/vK6dlejWlq” (August 28, 2025).

Later that same day, Harrigan criticized Democratic politicians for their actions abroad compared to their response to local disasters: “Democrats sent a senator abroad to defend an illegal alien MS-13 gang member and wife beater.

When North Carolina families were crushed by Hurricane Helene, they looked the other way.

That contrast shows exactly who they serve, and it is NOT the American people. https://t.co/IFVONaTyhZ” (August 28, 2025).

Pat Harrigan’s recent social media activity comes after his victory in the 2024 general election for Congress in North Carolina, where he received nearly three-fifths of the vote against Ralph R. Scott, Jr.
