Pat Harrigan

We cannot hope to secure the bright future of tomorrow if we cannot secure our communities today. We must make respect for the rule of law a priority in our society. That starts with bringing federal law and state law into congruence and promoting personal responsibility through real consequences. And it is implemented by promoting policy and investment that adequately resources our police—not by defunding the police. And we must secure our schools.

Under President Joe Biden, we didn’t have a border. Without a border, we don’t have a country. Open borders are a direct threat to our national security. From gang violence to sex trafficking and drug smuggling to terrorism, the open border policy of the Biden Administration hurt all of us. Now that President Trump has been reelected to the White House, we’re making the border secure and restoring safety across the country. We owe it to our Border Patrol agents to provide them with every necessary resource. Only then can they defend themselves, truly secure our frontlines, and ensure our national security. Pat is working hand in hand with the Trump Administration to secure our border and enforce Federal law.

Firearms are a valuable part of our identity as Americans. From firearms, we derive our ability to hunt, defend ourselves and our families, and secure our freedoms. As a Special Forces combat Veteran and owner of one of the fastest-growing manufacturers of firearms and firearm components in the country, Pat is keenly aware of the importance of the 2nd Amendment and what it means to us as Americans. He will always fight to protect our right to keep and bear arms, believes in the fundamental right of Constitutional carry, and rejects any attempt to impose red flags on those exercising their Second Amendment rights.

When we vote as residents of North Carolina, we should have to show identification and confirm our identities in a meaningful way. As the right to vote is one of the most sacred foundational responsibilities of our citizenry, we must endeavor that the result be secure and trusted—or we will have lost our country. We must pass election laws that make it easier to vote, and harder to cheat, and that push power down to the local and state levels.

The first and primary mission of the US government is to keep our citizens safe and secure. Joe Biden and the radical left abandoned that noble calling in favor of caving to the woke mob that supports them. As a Green Beret, Pat is trained to keep our people safe, and that’s what we should be doing now. He’s working alongside President Trump to crack down on violent crime, get drug traffickers and gangs off the streets, enforce immigration laws, and put fear back in the minds of criminals. Pat is standing up to politicians who want to bring casinos and gambling to our neighborhoods, which will create more crime than jobs.

There is no greater gift in life than a sound education. Unacceptably, falling test scores, grade-behind reading levels, and ideological indoctrination mark today’s public school experience for our children. We must give parents school-choice options today while elected officials at the state level revamp our public school systems. Our children’s futures cannot wait on government solutions that are distant years off.
