Meet Andy
Andy Barr ran for Congress for a cause – to save America from bankruptcy, restore the American Dream and keep the American people safe and secure. Andy has never stopped fighting for these principles. Now more than ever, it is critical for central and eastern Kentuckians to have a strong, proven, and accountable leader representing them in Congress.
Our Vision
I believe that the United States of America is the greatest nation in the history of the world. That belief is rooted in an understanding that the founding fathers were right: that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, that it is the responsibility of government to protect those rights and that the ends of liberty and human progress are best served when government is limited and its powers dispersed.
Great to see Ralph Reed and Timothy Head this week in Washington. I am honored to receive the Friend of the Family Award from the @ffcoalition. I’ll always stand up for Kentucky families, religious liberties and strong conservative values in Congress. ... See MoreSee Less

You should stand up for term limits.
Support families by supporting healthcare for all.
Conservative values? Like not recognizing the results of an American election?
Congratulations Andy

MAGA is a party of law and order but you sir not a peep on Jan 6 detainees whether or not is there wrong doings but their living conditions in DC jail is another story this country treats foreign terrorist detainees better … just tells me you don’t have our backs just like McConnell ( gutless ) … By the way I’m also a Precinct Chairman I will not support you … MAGA !! 🇺🇸

President Biden wants to nuke the filibuster in the Senate to help Democrats’ crusade in Congress to create roadblocks for all voter ID laws. You need an ID to fly on an airplane or even eat at a restaurant in major cities run by COVID crazy liberal authoritarians, but not to vote for President.
I support the Save Democracy Act, requiring ID to vote. I’ll keep fighting for integrity in our elections! ... See MoreSee Less

This is a no brainer! ID should be required to vote. This is the USA. Let's get back to that!
The Democrats do what they need to do to help themselves they aren't worried about anyone else only power and control. Can not wait till him and his rediculace administration are gone. What a mess they have made!!
Will you commit to returning contributions from people who own or manage businesses that employ illegal migrant workers, Andy Barr?
I wanted someone at his Georgia speech to push him aside and say who here has a valid driver’s license raise your hand 🙋♂️ Keep them up and out those with their hand raised, who wants someone to illegally vote in your place and steal your vote? That is the biggest form of voter suppression in this country you can find. Voter ID is for your protection!
Would anyone think that by moving to England or France without becoming a citizen woukd entitle them to vote in that country’s elections?? That is what many Democrats are trying to do with people who are citizens of other countries who have only recently arrived here. Don’t see how logically this makes sense.
With all due respect Andy, please just sit down. You are calling 43% of your own constituents crazy? Great job at the unity BS you spout!!!
Andy Barr bemoans inflation while cashing PAC checks from the very Wall Street banks that increase the monetary base. Empty ideological suit… Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle mérite.
Stick to your position!!! It is ours too!!
Great job Congressman Andy Barr you are the best.
They are all sliding towards the communist ways while telling the media that anyone who sees thru their BS that they are the real threat
"I took a pledge to limit my own terms to four because of this very idea: to remind me to focus on the people and that serving the public wasn’t intended to be a career by our founders," writes Rep. Trey Hollingsworth.
like the senate did with former guy’s supreme court appointments ?
Well said Congressman Barr, you Hal and Mitch stand your ground and give the roosters hell! H. Dwight Griffin, Life Long Republican
I don't want to believe you're actually that ignorant about the voting laws being passed across our nation or the reason the Democrats want to end the filibuster that is so abused by the Republicans, but the alternative is to believe you know exactly what you're saying and want to capitalize on the ignorance of your constituents. I'm not sure which is worse.
U will probably vote with them again.
Make it happen. Stop the Steal.
Hang in there, man, we need you
So sick of liberal policies…idiots
You are a fraud - no evidence of corrupt elections in any states that have had no voter ID requirements for decades. Instead of relaying the facts of policies that expand access to the ballot box, you spread unfounded fears of corruption and propose laws that will diminish turnout, specifically targeting the poor/elderly in rural counties.
YES!
I totally 💯 agree

Biden’s border crisis continues to rage out of control. This is why I support additional physical barriers, manpower and resources for the border to stop this disaster.

Andy Barr, Andy Barr - will you commit to refusing contributions from those who manage or control businesses that employ illegal workers?
I am confused. I have never heard you suggest that Joe Biden go to jail for aiding and abiding with taxpayer dollars and resources. Is law breaking legal in DC. Apparently, it must be.
Five days ago, the Federal Reserve released the names of the banks that had received $4.5 trillion in cumulative loans in the last quarter of 2019 under its emergency repo loan operations for a liquidity crisis that has yet to be credibly explained. Among the largest borrowers were JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, three of the Wall Street banks that were at the center of the subprime and derivatives crisis in 2008 that brought down the U.S. economy. That’s blockbuster news. But as of 7 a.m. this morning, not one major business media outlet has reported the details of the Fed’s big reveal. On September 17, 2019, the Fed began making trillions of dollars a month in emergency repo loans to 24 trading houses on Wall Street. The Fed released on a daily basis the dollar amounts it was loaning, but withheld the names of the specific banks and how much they had borrowed. This made it impossible for the public to see which Wall Street firms were experiencing the most severe credit crisis. It was the first time the Fed had intervened in the repo market since the 2008 financial crash – the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The COVID-19 crisis remained months away. The first reported case of COVID-19 in the U.S. was not reported by the CDC until January 20, 2020 and the World Health Organization did not declare a pandemic until March 11, 2020.The dollar amounts of the Fed’s repo loans grew to staggering levels. On October 24, 2019, we reported the following: ”The New York Fed will now be lavishing up to $120 billion a day in cheap overnight loans to Wall Street securities trading firms, a daily increase of $45 billion from its previously announced $75 billion a day. In addition, it is increasing its 14-day term loans to Wall Street, a program which also came out of the blue in September, to $45 billion. Those term loans since September have been occurring twice a week, meaning another $90 billion a week will be offered, bringing the total weekly offering to an astounding $690 billion. It should be noted that if the same Wall Street firms are getting these loans continuously rolled over, they are effectively permanent loans. (That’s exactly what happened during the 2007-2010 Wall Street collapse: some teetering Wall Street casinos received, individually, $2 trillion in cumulative loans that were rolled over for two and one-half years – without the authorization or even awareness of Congress or the American people. One bank, Citigroup, received over $2.5 trillion in Fed loans, much of them at an interest rate below 1 percent, at a time when it was insolvent and couldn’t have obtained loans in the open market at even high double-digit interest rates.)”Under the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation of 2010, the Fed was legally required to release the names of the banks and the amounts they borrowed “on the last day of the eighth calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the covered transaction was conducted.” The New York Fed released the information for the third quarter of 2019 last Thursday, a day earlier than required. We reported on it the following day. Those Fed revelations, that had been withheld from the American people for two years, should have made front page headlines in newspapers and on the digital front pages of every major business news outlet. Instead, there was a universal news blackout of the story at the largest business news outlets, including: Bloomberg News, the Wall Street Journal, the business section of the New York Times, the Financial Times, Dow Jones’ MarketWatch, and Reuters. Could this critically important story have simply slipped by all of the dozens of investigative reporters and Fed watchers at these news outlets? Absolutely not. The Fed was required to release its repo loan data and names of the banks for the span of September 17 through September 30, 2019 at the end of the third quarter of this year. We reported on what that information revealed on October 13. Because we were similarly stunned by the news blackout on that Fed release, out of courtesy we sent our story to the reporters covering the Fed for the major news outlets. Our article alerted each of these reporters that a much larger data release from the Fed, for the full fourth quarter of 2019, would be released on or about December 31. The data was posted at the New York Fed sometime before 1:23 p.m. ET last Thursday. A The most puzzling part of this news blackout is that the majority of the reporters who covered this Fed story at the time it was happening in 2019, are still employed at the same news outlets. We emailed a number of them and asked why they were not covering this important story. Silence prevailed. We then emailed the media relations contacts for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Financial Times and the Washington Post, inquiring as to why there was a news blackout on this story. Again, silence. Next, we emailed a number of reporters who had covered this story in 2019 but were no longer employed at a major news outlet. We asked their opinion on what could explain this bizarre news blackout on such a major financial story. We received emails praising our reporting but advising that they “can’t comment. ”The phrase “can’t comment” as opposed to “don’t wish to comment” raised a major alarm bell. Wall Street megabanks are notorious for demanding that their staff sign non-disclosure agreements and non-disparagement agreements in order to get severance pay and other benefits when they are terminated. Are the newsrooms covering Wall Street megabanks now demanding similar gag orders from journalists? If they are, we’re looking at a form of corporate tyranny previously unseen in America. Please do your job.
