• H.R. 6703 ↗ YEA 2025-12-17
  Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] Harrigan voted yea on legislation that the CWA said 'will shift healthcare costs from employers and insurers onto workers by allowing stripped-down health plans that do not meet ACA essential health benefits requirements.' His NC-10 district has a 9.2% poverty rate and thousands of residents reliant on ACA plans and Medicaid. The CWA marked this as a key vote against working people. Harrigan voted nay on the CWA-preferred position, consistent with his 0% lifetime CWA score.
• H.R. 1 YEA 2025-07-03
  One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — House final passage, July 3, 2025
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] Harrigan voted yea on legislation the CBO projected would add $3.4 trillion to deficits and cut approximately $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP. His NC-10 district has 9.2% poverty and median household income of $70,226 — thousands of constituents depend on Medicaid and SNAP. He touted the bill in a press release as delivering 'the largest tax cut in American history' while omitting any mention of deficit increases or Medicaid impacts. Constituents from Indivisible Citizens of Catawba Valley delivered a letter signed by nearly 100 constituents, calling it 'Robin Hood in Reverse.' Only 2 Republicans voted nay. The CWA gave him a 0% score for 2025, citing this vote as 'deep and damaging cuts to vital programs like Medicaid.' The SBA Pro-Life America scorecard likely praised him for defunding Planned Parenthood through this vote.
• H.Con.Res. 14 ↗ YEA 2025-02-21
  FY 2025 Budget Resolution (Reconciliation Framework)
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] Harrigan voted yea on the budget resolution that set the framework for the OBBBA reconciliation, requiring trillions in mandatory savings from Medicaid and SNAP. The CWA opposed the resolution, stating it 'threatens the financial security and well-being of millions of American workers by prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations at the expense of essential programs that support working families.' Harrigan voted against working people on this measure per the CWA scorecard. The vote was party-line and enabled the $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts he would subsequently vote for in the OBBBA.

No documented broken promises on file.

• platform_vs_vote SCORE 90
  Harrigan campaigned as a fiscal conservative who would 'slash wasteful spending,' yet voted for the OBBBA which the CBO projected would add $3.4 trillion to the national debt — while omitting the deficit impact entirely from his press release touting the bill. Constituents from his district presented a letter calling the bill 'the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the wealthy in our history.' The CWA, which gave him a 0% score for 2025, highlighted that the budget reconciliation 'imposes deep and damaging cuts to vital programs like Medicaid' while rewarding corporations. His district has 9.2% poverty.
• statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 60
  Harrigan owns firearms and defense manufacturing businesses valued at up to $5 million while simultaneously serving on the House Armed Services Committee with jurisdiction over defense procurement. The structural overlap between his personal financial interests in defense manufacturing and his legislative oversight of the Pentagon's weapons-buying apparatus represents a conflict-of-interest that his campaign rhetoric about 'accountability' has not addressed. He is not a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus or any anti-corruption caucus.
