Congressman Andy Barr

God bless all our nation’s veterans from the beginning of our country to now. Happy Veterans Day!

On the eve of Veterans Day and in their first official act since the election, Democrats are blocking pay raises for our troops and investments in our national security. Our servicemembers have fought for us, and I will always fight for them. My full statement ⬇️

From @WSJ: 3.4% growth last quarter, the fastest in a year and better than expected. Growth is how we get higher wages and more jobs. More work to do: keep taxes low, cut red tape, and keep building.

Today, I join the Hopkins family, the team @KET, and all of Kentucky in mourning the passing of Shae Hopkins. My full statement.

On the eve of the Breeders' Cup here in Lexington, thank you to @NTRA for the chance to sit down today and talk about the future of Kentucky's signature industry. Yearling sales hit record highs after the Big Beautiful Tax Cut, but we have more work to do.

Honored to host Service Academy Day! Thank you to all the great students who came out and who are interested in joining the ranks of the world’s greatest military officers.

Millersburg has its post office back after the 2022 fire. With no residential mail delivery, the post office in the center of town is how folks get their mail, see their neighbors and stay connected. It took years of calls and persistence from local advocates and my office, but none of us quit. We celebrated at the ribbon cutting today with Mayor Hopkins, Community Ventures and @USPS. Congratulations Millersburg!

Calling all students interested in serving our country and learn more about the opportunities available through our nation’s United States Service Academies.

No law-abiding American should be debanked for their beliefs. Today, I joined @USComptroller and leaders from coal, firearms, and faith-based organizations to expose politically motivated debanking brought on by Obama/Biden financial regulators and fight to end it.

We need to save Kentucky’s hemp industry and protect the farmers who built it. I’m leading the charge to establish clear rules of the road, protect consumers, and keep hemp products out of the hands of children. Thank you to the Kentucky Heritage Hemp Company for hosting us today for an important conversation about the future of this industry.

Great to be with the @jessaminechambr today. Central Kentucky is primed for growth. I’ll continue fighting to keep taxes low, boost manufacturing, and reduce DC regulations that hold our businesses back.

Thank you to the Kentucky District Export Council for meeting on the priorities shaping Kentucky’s economic future. From trade and manufacturing to U.S. investment, we need to strengthen Kentucky businesses through opening markets to maintain America’s economic dominance.

Great to speak with the @KentuckyCoal! Coal keeps the lights on in Kentucky, producing over 60% of electricity in our Commonwealth. I’ll keep fighting to unleash coal to create jobs, lower costs, and power us into the future!

Great to be with @DC_Reporter @MatthewFoldi this week to talk bourbon and financial services with @EPC_Updates Executive Chairman Richard Hunt. Appreciate @DistilledSpirit hosting us for a special night.
