(WGHP)—Politicians from coast to coast like to claim they’re “fighting for you,” but few know fighting quite like Pat Harrigan does.

Harrigan is the freshman congressman representing North Carolina’s 10th district, and, as a Green Beret, he saw combat overseas and knows not only what that’s like but the cost of it all. It was what he considers the U.S.’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that inspired him to run for Congress, and Harrigan has strong opinions not just about what’s happening in Ukraine but the long fight we’re engaged in with China and, more importantly, how that fight can be won.

On the lighter side, Harrigan reveals how he and his wife, Rocky, named their two daughters.
