NORTH CAROLINA, USA — Republican Pat Harrigan won election to a U.S. House seat representing North Carolina on Tuesday.
Harrigan is a West Point graduate and former Green Beret who served in Afghanistan and later became a defense products manufacturer. Harrigan will now succeed 10-term GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry, who didn’t seek reelection this fall in the 10th Congressional District.
Four people were on the November ballot for the district: Pat Harrigan (R), Ralph Scott Jr. (D), Todd Helm (Constitution), and Steven Feldman (L).
Harrigan defeated the Democratic, Libertarian and Constitution party candidates to represent the strongly GOP district now covering parts of Winston-Salem and points west and south to the Charlotte suburbs. Harrigan was a 2022 congressional candidate who lost to Democrat Jeff Jackson.
The Associated Press declared Harrigan the winner at 9:35 p.m. EST.
