Meet Pat

Pat McMonigle brings decades of public service and national security experience to the Charter Review Commission. A former FBI Special Agent and Intelligence Officer, Pat has served in critical roles both at home and abroad--including deployments to Afghanistan and the U.S. Embassy in Somalia. His work included international criminal investigations, counterterrorism operations, crisis/hostage negotiations and advising on pubic safety and cyber security. 

Now a security consultant and small business owner in Gig Harbor, Pat remains deeply engaged in his community. He serves on this children’s school commission, works with youth, and is active in his church. Pat’s commitment to service runs deep--his father was a decorated Vietnam War veteran, and his mother was an art and elementary teacher.

He’s a nationally recognized advocate for mental health support for law enforcement and has been featured in major media outlets for his insights on crime, safety and justice.

Pat is running for Charter Review to bring common-sense leadership, accountability and a deep respect for our Constitution to the process. With four kids in local schools and a wife as a partner in business and life, Pat is committed to keeping Pierce County safe and thriving.
