Combat tested me. Starting a business humbled me. Raising a family grounded me. All three prepared me for the responsibility of representing the 10th District in Congress.

🚨More than $225,000 in new @FEMA funding is headed to Catawba County and the City of Hickory. Catawba County will receive more than $115,000 for flood mitigation, including property acquisitions, elevations, reconstruction and floodproofing, while Hickory will receive more than $110,000 to support the management of Hurricane Helene recovery projects.

We’re officially one month out from the @CongressionalAC deadline! Middle and high school students across #NC10 have until October 26 to build an app, put their skills to the test, and show us what they can create. Learn more and submit at harrigan.house.gov/about/eve…

Unlocking 23 gigawatts of additional capacity from the grid we already have is a big deal. America needs more energy, but producing it is only half the equation. My bipartisan Lowering Energy Costs through Grid Modernization Act tackles the other half by upgrading existing infrastructure to carry more power, improve reliability, and help keep costs down. apnews.com/article/energy-el…

Congratulations @RepPatHarrigan for scoring a 100% on the American Energy Scorecard! Thank you for being a champion for American energy! americanenergyalliance.org/2…

.@RepMonicaDLC got this across the finish line, and disabled veterans across America will be better for it. Proud to stand with her and @PHH_USA as this new law becomes real help for the men and women who served.

Yesterday during @HUDgov 's Innovative Housing Showcase on the National Mall, my team was pleased to join for the presentation of our new law - the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act - to Purple Heart Homes! Thank you to @RepPatHarrigan for being present and to Purple Heart Homes for sharing about the impact this new law will have on our Veteran community seeking housing.

I’ll be introducing legislation to close this loophole. Taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing a system where a trip to the casino gets treated like a paycheck.

If this reporting is accurate, we have a MASSIVE problem. China spends enormous resources trying to penetrate our most advanced military technology, we cannot make their job easier through failures in our own supply chain.

When I came to Congress, I promised North Carolina’s veterans I’d fight to make government actually deliver for them. We’ve now helped pass legislation through the House to transfer 20 acres at Fort Bragg to the state, clearing a major federal hurdle to building a new State Veterans Home. Proud to see @MilitaryTimes highlight our work and the growing push for the Senate to finish the job. North Carolina has already committed $40 million, and we’re closer than ever to getting this home built for the veterans who earned it.

Opinion: The U.S. Senate should pass legislation granting North Carolina 20 acres of Army land for the construction of a veterans' home, this policy expert writes. militarytimes.com/opinion/20…

It’s not every day you get to see work from back home sitting on the National Mall. @PHH_USA, based in Statesville, brought one of their modular homes to HUD’s Innovative Housing Showcase, putting the work they do for veterans on a national stage. Great to spend time with their team, join @SecretaryTurner, and see #NC10 so well represented in Washington.

Forsyth County, we’re bringing our office to you. My team will be in Lewisville next Wednesday from 11 AM–2 PM to help with federal agencies, answer questions, or hear what’s on your mind.

INBOX: #NC10's @RepPatHarrigan, #NC01's @RepDonDavis, and #MI07's @RepTomBarrett introduce REACH Act to strengthen rural health care workforce “Too many families in rural North Carolina have to drive farther and wait longer just to see a doctor because there simply aren’t enough health care professionals nearby. If we want to change that, we have to make it easier for doctors, nurses, and mental health professionals to choose these communities and stay there,” said Congressman Harrigan. “The REACH Act puts a real incentive behind that choice, giving providers a $10,000 tax credit to serve rural communities and helping more families get the care they need closer to home.” “Too many of our rural communities don’t have enough doctors and nurses to provide essential care for the local residents who need it,” said Congressman Barrett. “Where you live should never be a barrier to accessing quality care. By providing an incentive to attract these professionals to our communities, our bipartisan REACH Act will make health care more affordable and accessible for families in rural mid-Michigan.”

You recruit active-duty American soldiers, sell their access to China, and funnel sensitive Army information to Chinese buyers, and the most you face is 10 years? That is indefensible! My FAFO Act makes 15 years without parole the minimum for defense espionage on behalf of China. Beijing is actively looking for Americans willing to sell us out, federal law should make accepting that offer one of the worst decisions of their lives. oregonlive.com/crime/2026/09…

My experiences at the U.S. Air Force Academy shaped who I am and how I serve today. That's why I'm committed to giving our Service Academies the resources, facilities, faculty, and training they need to develop the world's finest military leaders. I was proud to lead a letter with @SenatorHick calling for a generational investment in America's Military Academies in the upcoming NDAA. Our national defense starts with how well we prepare those who will lead it.

North Carolina has the second-largest rural population in America, more than 3 million people, and 93 of our 100 counties have a primary care shortage area. This is federal funding going exactly where the need is.

Hydropower is at the heart of lowering energy costs for hardworking Granite Staters and making America the world’s clean energy superpower. That’s why @RepPatHarrigan and I are launching a bipartisan Hydropower Caucus that will prioritize lowering costs and building an energy future that works for the people we serve.

As a @WestPoint_USMA graduate who now serves on its Board of Visitors, I’ve seen both sides of this, first as a cadet preparing to lead soldiers and now helping oversee the institution preparing the next generation. The wars those cadets may fight will look very different from the ones my generation fought, and our academies cannot prepare them for cyber, autonomous systems, drones, and the threats of tomorrow with infrastructure stuck in the past.

A promise we carry long after the uniform comes off: leave no one behind, and never stop accounting for our own.
