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!
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!

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

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

Brad Knott went to Congress for one reason: to cozy up to Republican insiders and corporate lobbyists.
He doesn't want to actually do anything — he's just waiting for an opportunity to run for higher office.
We deserve better. I'm proud to be running to *serve* my neighbors.

So far in Congress, Brad Knott has spent more time thinking about running for higher office than he has about the folks back home in NC-13. That ain't right — and we deserve better.

Congress should look out for the people, not billionaires.
The GOP is cutting healthcare for those who need it most just to give billionaires tax cuts — at the same time adding $4T to the national debt.
Do they need another private island or more gold toilets? It ain’t right.

Brad Knott and Republicans in Congress are cutting crucial programs like SNAP and Medicaid just to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
He is way out of touch with the people of North Carolina — and in November, we're going to send him back home.

It's been an honor traveling around the district, meeting new and old friends, and hearing directly from folks on the ground!
Together, we're going to elect a true voice for NC-13 — not just another cog in a broken machine.
