🚨Breaking Campaign News🚨 We’re over a week into early voting and woke up this morning to find that The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter has moved our race from “Solid Republican” to “Likely Republican” Now I know that sounds scary or like there’s not much difference but remember this district is drawn so that a...

I’m running for Congress to fight against the issues making life more expensive for the everyday person. Things such as the Iran war that makes our gas cost more, tariffs that make our food cost more, and corporations like Duke Energy jacking up our rates to pay for data centers. Early voting runs from 10/15-10/31...

No doubt that power is way too expensive and here in North Carolina Duke Energy is essentially a regulated monopoly who’s fees are out of control for the average person. Instead of standing up to them and fighting for his constituents, Brad Knott is cozying up to them and taking thousands of dollars in campaign...

My father served in World War II and my grandfather served in World War I. I’ve always had the utmost respect for our soldiers. However, it’s clear that our government is failing them with thing such as VA cuts. When I’m elected I’m going to fight to make sure the VA is fully funded, support the PACT act, and make...

Earlier today the DCCC 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

One thing we all have in common is that we’re all gonna be sick at some point and we’re all gonna need healthcare. Our healthcare system is far from perfect but ripping out healthcare from more than 11 million Americans (including 300,000 in NC13) is not the solution. As someone who has worked in healthcare I’ve...

It’s September 15th, which means it’s exactly 1 month until the start of early voting. This business-as-usual approach to the issues is making life unaffordable for everyone. We need change and in one month we can begin to get it. #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

Every week there seems to be another red flag against this internal AI arms race. We see CEOs warning against the dangers of their own products, rebel groups using it to develop ways to harm others, not to mention the data centers needed to power this development that are destroying our environment. We need strong...

It’s September 3rd which means it’s exactly 2 months till Election Day! In November you’ll have a chance to vote for someone who will actually hold DC accountable. Someone who will fight to lower the cost of healthcare, who will actually vote to regulate data centers, who will fight for your right to privacy that’s...

Let’s talk tariffs. Despite some claims, businesses don’t pay for tariffs, the consumer does. Since the start of blanket tariffs it’s estimated families have had to pay $1,400 extra a year. Not to mention the fact that farmers have had to pay $1.4 billion more in diesel during the 2026 planting season, and according...

Last week I got to speak at the Voters of Tomorrow conference in Raleigh. Thank you so much for having me out! It was great getting to meet and speak with some of our state’s up and coming leaders. Here’s a little bit of the day! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

Let’s talk about Iran real quick. To be blunt there’s no plan, no overarching strategy, and no real exit ramp right now. We’re there on the whim of the President and as a result we’ve paid the cost in billions of dollars and in the lives of 18 service members. Meanwhile Brad Knott just votes to support whatever the...

Last week was the 61st anniversary of LBJ signing the bill that created the Medicaid and Medicare programs. These programs aren’t perfect but there is no denying that they have helped millions of Americans get access to the healthcare that they need, including many here in District 13. Yet last year, our current...

This past Sunday marked 100 days until Election Day. There’s a lot at stake this November but this is also our chance fix the damage that has been done to our foundations over the past 18 months. #paulbarringerforcongress #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol
