There’s no doubt that power in NC-13 is expensive and that the main supplier is Duke Energy. When elected I’ll fight for the consumer instead of cozying up and taking thousands of dollars from those ripping them off. #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

When I’m elected I’m going to fight to make sure the VA is fully funded, support the PACT act, and make sure those who have put their lives and their well beings on the line for us are treated with the respect, support, and dignity they deserve. #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

Earlier today @electdemocrats.bsky.social announced they were adding our race to their list of districts in play. That’s incredible news and just confirms what we’ve known for a while, that this district is winnable but we’re gonna need your help to do it. #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

At some point we’re all gonna need healthcare. Our system is far from perfect but ripping coverage from including 300k people in NC13 is not the solution. This district deserves better. #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

We need strong and enforced regulations in regard to AI development. Laws designed specifically to responsibly develop this technology before the creature escapes the lab as well as strict environmental protections for the data centers used to develop it. #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol #ai

#NC13 GOP Rep. Brad Knott: "We do believe that gas is too high.” Republicans keep cheerleading the Iran war that they acknowledge is spiking gas prices — but with zero accountability.

Last year, our current rep. Brad Knott, voted to gut Medicare and Medicaid to give tax cuts to the wealthiest of Americans leading to millions of Americans losing their healthcare, including 50,000 of them here in NC-13. That ain’t right. #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

Corporate lobbyists have enough puppets in D.C. — and my MAGA opponent, Brad Knott, is at the top of their list. It's time we elect more people who will ask the tough questions. Actual problem solvers, not attention seekers.

We’re in a time where people already have to stretch their dollars beyond what is reasonable and now we’re having folks say that the hurt the American consumer is experiencing is the “least of their concerns right now?” That’s a slap in the face to the American people. #nc13 #ncpol

And tariffs are in the news, again. Last week the Supreme Court said that the president’s tariff regime was illegal. So, instead of backing off, he doubled down. We need a Congress that actually does its job and doesn’t roll over. That’s why I’m running. #paulbarringerfornc13 #nc13 #ncpol
