Harrigan, a former Green Beret who served in Afghanistan, already has started criticizing Moore, saying in a news release last week that he "carries a legacy of corruption." Moore, whose entry into the 2024 race for a reconfigured 14th Congressional District was expected, highlighted in a video his legislative accomplishments in Raleigh and the state's strong economy as evidence that he can make a difference on Capitol Hill.
