Evidence

"Today, Congressman Pat Harrigan (NC-10) voted in favor of S. Con. Res. 33, the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2026, setting federal spending levels through 2035 and providing reconciliation instructions to begin cutting wasteful spending and securing the border."

Concrete action in the lookback window: Harrigan voted for a budget resolution framed as starting cuts to wasteful spending. This is partial support for the spending-cut promise, but it does not itself prove delivered outcomes on inflation, taxes, or energy prices.

"Today, Congressman Pat Harrigan (NC-10) voted in favor of H.R. 6398, the Reducing and Eliminating Duplicative Environmental Regulations Act, legislation to eliminate a redundant layer of EPA review that has slowed federal construction projects and major infrastructure decisions for decades."

Evidence of a deregulatory vote that could be intended to reduce costs and delays, but it is indirect and does not establish that consumer prices or energy prices were lowered.

The press release says Harrigan introduced the Lowering Egg Prices Act, a bill that "driven up egg prices" and would "lower costs for consumers."

This is not inside the 30-day lookback window, but it shows a prior concrete attempt to lower prices through legislation. It remains only an introduced bill and does not prove delivered results.

"Today, Congressman Pat Harrigan (NC-10) joined Congresswoman Andrea Salinas in co-leading the Next-Generation Geothermal Research and Development Act," legislation meant to accelerate geothermal commercialization and expand reliable energy supply.

This is a concrete recent effort related to lowering energy costs through increased energy supply, but it is only an introduction/co-lead and not a delivered policy outcome yet.

The press release states Harrigan voted for FY2026 appropriations legislation that "reduces federal spending while strengthening national security, protecting taxpayers."

Older than the lookback window, but it is consistent with ongoing effort to reduce spending. It still does not establish actual inflation reduction, tax cuts enacted by him, or lower energy prices.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The promise bundles several broad outcomes: curb inflation, cut wasteful spending, decrease taxes, and lower energy prices. The evidence shows Harrigan has taken concrete same-term actions aligned with parts of that agenda, including voting for a budget resolution and appropriations framed as reducing spending, supporting deregulatory legislation, and introducing or co-leading bills aimed at lowering certain costs and expanding energy supply. However, the record provided does not show that he enacted tax cuts, delivered measurable inflation reduction, or actually lowered energy prices. Most evidence is about votes, bill introductions, and support for proposals rather than completed outcomes. Because there is meaningful legislative effort but no demonstrated fulfillment of the full promised results, partial credit is most appropriate.
