On September 10, 2025, during House consideration of H.R. 3838, Harrigan voted Aye on Roll Call 260, an amendment vote on the FY26 NDAA.

He supported an NDAA-related vote, but this shows participation in defense legislation rather than fulfillment of the promise by itself.

On December 10, 2025, Harrigan said he voted to pass the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act and secured fourteen provisions focused on weapons development, supply chain security, artificial intelligence, and military infrastructure.
