Paul Barringer for Congress

Hey there, #ncpol! My name is Paul Barringer. I'm a husband, father, lawyer, and Lee County native. I've taught Sunday school for the last twenty years, I'm a big fan of fried chicken and lentils, and today, I'm announcing I'm running as a Democrat for Congress in NC's 13th District!

It’s one week until Election Day I’ve been out here poll greeting and It’s paying off, just this morning Fox News of all things moved the state of our race. We can do this, but we need your help Go to paulbarringer.com/events and sign up to phonebank! Let’s win this! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Another great day knocking doors, and talking to voters. People deserve change. They deserve someone who is willing to put in the work to earn their vote instead of taking it for granted. Wanna help? Go to paulbarringer.com/events and sign up to make calls! #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

Decided to take a little trip to the State Fair today. Met folks from all across the district and reminded them, as I’m reminding you, that early voting runs through October 31st! Make a plan, there’s only a week left! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

This morning @cookpolitical.com moved our race from “Solid Republican” to “Likely Republican” There is real momentum in this race but we need your vote. Make a plan, Early Voting ends on 10/31! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

I’ve been all over the district today talking to folks. Everywhere from polling sites to gas stations to community parks and I’ve loved every minute of it! These conversations are what’s going to move the needle as we head towards November 3rd. #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

NC13 deserves a representative who is willing to meet and talk with his constituents face to face, whether it’s one-on-one or hundreds at a time. That’s what I’ve been doing on the campaign trail and that’s exactly what I’ll do when I’m elected. #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

Busy day poll greeting over in Johnston! The polls are open for early voting! If you haven’t done it yet make a plan today! Questions? Go to paulbarringer.com/vote #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

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 make our gas cost more, tariffs that make our food cost more, and groups like Duke Energy jacking up rates to pay for data centers. #paulbarringerforcongress

Early voting has officially started! Make sure you have a plan to vote early and in person. Bring a friend! Questions? Go to paulbarringer.com/vote for more info! We’re gonna win, we’ve gotta win, and we’re gonna do it together! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

Tomorrow is the start of early voting! Make a plan to vote. Bring a friend or two and make sure they vote as well. Double-check that you have the proper type of voter ID. Questions? Go to paulbarringer.com/vote and follow the links. See you out there! #paulbarringerfornc13 #earlyvoting #ncpol

We’ve got yard signs! Wanna help rep the campaign during these final weeks? Fill out the form on our website or through the linktree in our bio and we’ll get you one! They can be for your yard or along the roads (guidance and laws will be provided) #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

We’ve got some important dates coming up Please, make sure you have a plan to vote early and in person and that you have the proper voter ID. Got questions? Go to paulbarringer.com/vote for more information. #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

Early voting starts in exactly 1 week! Whatever your reason is for voting make sure that you have a plan to vote, that you have your voter ID, and that you vote early and in person. If you’ve got questions just go to paulbarringer.com/vote. See you out there! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

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

The signs say it all really! Early voting starts in exactly 2 weeks! Make sure you have a plan to vote and that you vote early and in person! We can win this! But it’s gonna be a matter of turnout! So please don’t wait! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

A picture is worth a thousand words We’ve seen gas prices soar over the past few weeks and where is our current representative? Other than putting out signs he’s nowhere to be seen and refuses to chime in on the issues that matter the most to people. We deserve better #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

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

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

What a day! From attending a candidate forum in Johnston to the Crepe Myrtle Festival in Harnett to the Hot Sauce Festival in Granville it’s been a long day of driving and shaking hundreds of hands, I wouldn’t have it any other way. #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

It was great to join @paulbarringer.com in North Carolina to support his run for Congress! Paul was born and raised in #NC13 and is ready to fight to expand healthcare access, protect the environment, and restore common sense to our politics. Learn more at paulbarringer.com.

Happy Labor Day to all the workers in NC-13 and the country who help keep our economy going. We’ve come a long way in the fight for fair wages and safe workplaces but the fight isn’t done. Today we honor the workers and the people who have gotten us this far. Thank you.

Thank you to St. Paul AME Church and Rev. Dr. Lyons for the amazing opportunity to join you this morning in celebration of your 178th anniversary! It was so great to get to join you in worship and fellowship.

Despite the heat Team Barringer is out all over the district today knocking doors and having some amazing conversations! To get involved go to Paulbarringer.com and fill out the volunteer form! We’ll see you out there! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

It’s September 2nd y’all and that means some very important dates are coming up soon! Make sure you are registered to vote at your current address and that you have a plan to vote! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

Great time this morning with a drop in meet and greet ! One of my favorite things about this campaign has been getting to meet new friends where they are and hearing their concerns instead of treating it like just a photo-op. Keep an eye on our website for more events! #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

Last week I got to speak at the @votersoftomorrow.org 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! #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

Had the chance to meet @paulbarringer.com running to be North Carolina's 13th district representative. He's an a real Eagle Scout, AT trail hiker, grew up and lives on a farm, and most importantly understands the needs of North Carolina voters. Working for change in the midterm elections!

We had a great canvass today out in Harnett County with great conversations! It’s gonna take all of us to get across the finish line. Make sure you make a plan to vote and go to paulbarringer.com and hit the volunteer and events tabs and come help us flip this district! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Let’s talk Iran. There’s no plan. We’re there on the President’s whim and as a result we’ve paid the cost in billions of dollars and in the lives of 18 service members. And Brad Knott votes for it even though it doesn’t help the district. #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol

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

Time to ramp up! Below are just a few of our upcoming canvasses! We also have virtual phone banks every Tues.-Thurs. from 6:00-8:00. The time to get involved is now. Go to the events tab on our website paulbarringer.com and sign up for a shift! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Fun times canvassing in Johnston to mark 100 Days until Election Day! We’ve got so many chances to get involved over the next 100 days so go to paulbarringer.com and sign up to volunteer! #paulbarringerforcongress #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Believe it or not, today marks 100 days until the election, that was quick. This election is about many things but most simply, it can be boiled down to one thing, improving the lives of everybody in the district. Election Day is soon. Make a plan to vote! #ncpol #paulbarringerfornc13

June marked the end of fundraising for Q2. We passed the $1 million total raised mark during that time and out raised Brad Knott by over $30k, all without taking a dime of corporate or AIPAC money. If you’re able, please go to our website and donate today! #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

Great time knocking doors with the Lee County Democrats this morning! We’ve got just a little over 100 days to go until Election Day! Now is the time to get involved. Go to paulbarringer.com to sign up! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

It was so cool to throw out the first pitch for my hometown team, the Sanford Spinners! I definitely won’t be quitting my day job any time soon but I am running to have a new one! I hope to earn you and your family’s support this year. #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

We just wrapped up a great canvass in Johnston County, where had some real good conversations with folks about what issues matter to them. We’ve got less than 4 months till the election. Go to paulbarringer.com to sign up to volunteer! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringer #ncpol

One of the most common concerns I heard while out in the district during the town hall tour was about data centers and AI. We need national standards regarding data centers so that we protect our water, air, and general quality of life #paulbarringerforcongress #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Folks, we are 100 days out from the start of Early Voting. Time surely does fly. Early voting starts Thursday, October 15th and ends Saturday, October 31st at 3:00 PM. It’s not too early to make a plan to vote! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerforcongress #ncpol #earlyvoting

Hey yall! Had a great time at the 4th of July parade in Roxboro this morning. Great getting to see folks. Happy 250th America! #paulbarringerforcongress #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol #america250

A very Happy 250th 4th of July to everyone! Be safe, have fun! #paulbarringerforcongress #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol #4thofjuly #america250

NC-13, this ones for you!! Join Chair @abreezeclayton.bsky.social and @paulbarringer.com at the next stop of the District Run. Grab a friend, get signed up, and let’s fill the room! ncdp.org/district-run

I’m proud to announce that we have been endorsed by the Committee to Protect Healthcare! I’m thrilled to have their endorsement. Thank you for your support and belief in this campaign! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol

Exactly two weeks ago we began our summer Town Hall series. If you didn’t get to attend for whatever reason, we’re planning on doing another one of these before the start of early voting and we hope to see you there. #paulbarringerforcongress #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Such a great town hall tonight in support of @paulbarringer.com! VFRL Executive Director, Scott Peoples, was proud to speak on the issues most important to the veteran community of NC-13. We all agree that Brad Knott needs to go!

We just finished up week 1 of our district wide Town Hall tour. I’ve said before, your Representative in Congress should be engaging face to face, not hiding behind telephone town halls. When elected, I’ll continue holding these face to face. #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol
