Press Release:

    Gastonia - Pat Harrigan, a combat Green Beret who earned two Bronze Stars in Afghanistan, today announced his 2024 Congressional campaign with a launch video, seen below:



    Harrigan, the GOP nominee in NC-14 in 2022, owns a successful firearms manufacturing company in Burke County. He is married and is the father of two daughters. He announced that he is investing $500,000 of his own money into his Congressional campaign at the outset.

    "Our country is in a downward spiral because of President Biden's weak economy and disastrous foreign policy decisions," Harrigan said. "It's a slap in the face to every American. As a Green Beret, I've been trained to face adversity. And I'm stepping up once again to take charge and change the direction we're headed. I won't stand by while our children inherit this disaster. This is not just another campaign; it's a battle that I'm wholeheartedly devoted to winning for our nation's core values."

    Harrigan graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point with a degree in nuclear engineering and served two combat tours in Afghanistan. His service culminated as a Detachment Commander in the Green Berets. While still on active duty, Harrigan and his wife started a firearms parts company in their double-wide trailer, which has grown to a 120,000 square foot facility in western North Carolina. Harrigan is an accomplished entrepreneur and inventor, and an expert in firearms design, manufacturing, and global industry regulatory matters.

    He and his family live in Gastonia.
