Running to flip District 13, @paulbarringer.com!

I just wanted to hop on here really quick and say thank you again so so much for your support over the past few months. I’m honored to be your Democratic nominee for NC13. We’re not done though, we’ve still got work to do to send Brad Knott home. #nc13 #paulbarringer #ncpol

Thank you all so so much! We may have won tonight but the work is far from over. We have 8 months to knock doors, make calls, raise funds, talk to our friends and neighbors and get as many people as possible to turn out in November. #paulbarringer #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Thank you so much to Rep. Sarah Crawford (D-NC66) for the kind words and her endorsement of our campaign! Remember, the polls are open until 7:30 this evening! Make a plan to vote! #paulbarringer #paulbarringerfornc13 #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

It was an honor getting to meet and talk @joshsteinnc.bsky.social about the issues facing North Carolinians. Thank you! As a reminder, Early Voting for the March 3rd Primary continues through THIS Saturday, February 28th. Please make a plan to go vote! #paulbarringer #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

The President has been talking recently about “nationalizing elections”. That’s unconstitutional to say the absolute least. And Brad Knott, our current rep. isn’t doing a thing to speak out against it. We need folks who will step up. That’s why I’m running. #nc13 #ncpol

The President likes to claim tariffs on foreign goods have been great for folks. But that’s not what tariffs actually are. They’re an unnecessary tax we all pay. Congress has had its power to levy tariffs stripped by the President and we need a Congress that is willing to stand up. #nc13 #ncpol

We’re too aware of the corruption rampant within this administration but sometimes it’s just so blatant that it’s past the point of ridiculous. We need a Congress that will call out corruption when they see it. #nc13 #ncpol #paulbarringerfornc13

Yesterday, ICE agents in Minneapolis murdered Alex Pretti. Their second victim in just as many weeks. This is what happens when you drop un-vetted masked agents on the ground with no clear parameters. This is disgusting, shameful, and heartbreaking. #nc13 #ncpol #minneapolis

Always fantastic to get to catch up with NC-13’s very own @abreezeclayton.bsky.social! NCDP is in great hands. #ncpol #nc13 #paulbarringerfornc13

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who told us that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” A quote that is still all too relevant today as see the events unfolding in places like Minneapolis. I encourage you to reflect on Dr. King’s life & legacy today #martinlutherkingjrday

The actions in Venezuela over the weekend raises a lot of questions and rightfully so. But, the one that I have is, how does this help lower costs for folks? How does this make life more affordable? That’s my big question. We need to keep our eye on the ball. #ncpol #paulbarringerfornc13 #congress

And there we go 42 days till early voting for the primary begins 61 days until the primary 306 days until the general election The dates are coming soon so make sure you have a plan to early vote. And make sure to bring a friend! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol #nc13 #congress

Happy New Year! It is now January 1st, 2026 and we have 61(!) days until the primary. Once we win that it’ll be straight on to the general election in November. It’s gonna be here soon! Go to Paulbarringer.com to sign up to volunteer. See you out there! #ncpol #nc13

Happy New Year! May this year bring positive change for all! #paulbarringerfornc13 #nc13 #ncpol

End of year means the end of our fundraising quarter! It’s the last one before our primary so we want to make sure we have as good a showing as possible! So please, if you are able, go to Paulbarringer.com & donate. Thank you! #ncpol #paulbarringerfornc13 #nc13

I had the pleasure recently of going on @thefoxfiredispatch.bsky.social podcast and talking a bit about this race and the district. The YouTube link is bellow and you can also find it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Liz, thank you for having me on! youtu.be/kAfVeoelBvA?...

I grew up and currently live on my family’s farm and am very much a nature lover. We need to preserve our public lands for future generations so they too can enjoy and benefit from them. I intend to help protect them once I get to Congress. #ncpol #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringer

Hey! If you’re in Johnston County then come out this Wednesday to Raleigh Brewing JoCo and join us for a meet and greet. It’s gonna be fun! Go to our website, click on “Events”, and sign up! See you Wednesday! #ncpol #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringer

We’ve seen massive shifts to the left in deep red districts in elections over the past few months. People are tired of the dysfunction in DC, tired of people they’ve elected not representing them, and tired of prices not getting better. Momentum is on our side. Go to our website and volunteer.

Great news! We are having our first Virtual Phone Bank this Wednesday! It’s easy to sign up and we’ll provide you with training. Just got to Paulbarringer.com, click on “Events”, and sign up! This is how we reach people and how we flip this seat! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol #paulbarringer

Great news! We now have an “Events” tab on our website, Paulbarringer.com. It’s live now and includes the sign up for our Virtual Volunteer Kickoff this Wednesday at 6:00 PM on Zoom. Head over and sign up! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringer #ncpol

I just officially filed to run for Congress in NC13. We have an opportunity to effect major change. We need members of Congress who are willing and able to hold up their oath. This district deserves better representation than what it has now. #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringer #ncpol #congress

Wanted to just take a moment to wish all of you the happiest of Thanksgivings and say thank you so much to everyone for your support so far. I’m so incredibly thankful for all of you. We’re gonna do this. Enjoy! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol #nc13

Most of us have been prepping for Thanksgiving this week. Despite a pledge from the President to lower grocery prices on day one, things just keep getting more expensive. We gotta fix this system and stop pricing people out of basic necessities like food. #paulbarringerfornc13 #nc13 #ncpol

Last weekend I rode my bike the entire length of the district. Along the way I met some incredible people, all with similar concerns. Cost of living, healthcare costs, price of food, etc. Things have to change in DC, people need to be heard. #paulbarringerfornc13 #nc13 #ncpol

Thank you so much to the Democratic Women auxiliary of Johnston County Dems for having me at their Friendsgiving Potluck! It was a great time! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringer #ncpol

Y'all have a dedicated candidate in Congressional District 13! Check out our friend @paulbarringer.com #NCCD13 www.personcountylife.com/news/congres...

Had a great stop in Johnston County yesterday! Thank you to everyone who showed up! Today I’m continuing my trip across the district including a stop in Person County. Looking forward to it! #paulbarringerfornc13 #nc13 #ncpol

And I’m off! I’ll be uploading videos throughout the day as I make my way through the district. See you out there! #nc13 #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol #biking

Hey y’all! This weekend I’ll be biking the district. We’ve got stops in Johnston on 11/15 and in Person on 11/16. Can’t wait to meet everyone! I will also be carrying donation links for food banks in district. See you soon! #paulbarringerfornc13 #nc13 #ncpol #biking

My father served in the Navy in WWII. Like so many, he stepped up to serve and protect the country that he loved. Today, we want to honor all the brave veterans who have answered the call to serve. Thank you for all that you have done. Happy Veterans Day #VeteransDay

Hey y’all! I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time to get out in the district and meet some folks! Next weekend, 11/15 & 11/16 I’m going to be riding my bike through the district. Would love to meet up with y’all! If you bike and wanna join just send a DM! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Y’all, we are now in the longest government shutdown in U.S history. That’s unacceptable. Our representatives on both sides of the aisle need to sit down and solve this and get back to doing the country’s business, without making health insurance unaffordable. #paulbarringerfornc13 #nc13 #ncpol

Despite the successful lawsuit from multiple Attorneys General, SNAP benefits are still being disrupted and not fully funded. That’s unacceptable. We need to fully fund SNAP and end this shutdown while also ensuring that health insurance premiums won’t skyrocket. #paulbarringerfornc13 #NC13 #snap

UPDATE 10/31 5:30 PM- Two federal judges in Massachusetts & Rhode Island have ordered the Trump administration to continue funding SNAP using the $4 billion in contingency funds during the government shutdown

Hunger does not care about your political affiliation. The fact is, SNAP benefits will be ending for the foreseeable future starting tomorrow. Chances are you know someone who will be affected by this. Listed are some resources, please use them if needed. #SNAP #NC13 #paulbarringerfornc13

“Farmers want a market not a bailout” I grew up on a farm, I live on a farm. And I’ve seen that the trade war with China is hurting farmers all over the district. Meanwhile we’re bailing out farmers in Argentina while ignoring our farmers at home. #paulbarringerfornc13 #soybeans #farmers #ncpol

The people of North Carolina deserve fair maps. Democracy deserves fair maps. The gerrymandering and redistricting of NC-1 disenfranchises voters, plain and simple. That ain’t right. The voters should choose their politicians, not the other way around. #ncpol #nc13 #paulbarringer #redistricting

Thank you to NC Secretary of State @elaine4nc.bsky.social for coming out to our event in Smithfield last week! Your presence means a lot! #paulbarringerfornc #joco #johnstoncounty #nc13
