Congressman Andy Barr

Happy 234th Birthday, Kentucky!

For 234 years, the Commonwealth has been defined by hardworking families, strong communities, and an enduring spirit of freedom and opportunity.

I’m proud to represent Kentucky’s Sixth District and grateful for the people who make our Commonwealth the very best place to call home.

Happy Birthday, Kentucky!

No taxes on tips. No taxes on overtime. No taxes on Social Security. This is the Big Beautiful Bill at work!

Nothing better than letting hard-working Kentuckians keep what they earned.

Working Families Tax Cuts are a huge win for workers like me | Opinion Working Families Tax cuts are a historic victory and clear example of how fiscally conservative policies make a real difference in people’s lives.

Honored to be at the White House today for Kevin Warsh’s swearing in as the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Chairman Warsh is the perfect choice for this job. He will focus the Fed on price stability and full domestic employment. I was able to shake Chairman Warsh’s hand and congratulate him on his new role leading the most important central bank in the world.

Homeownership is the American Dream. That’s why I fought alongside Financial Services Committee Republicans to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to cut big government regulations slowing down new homebuilding. This bill also expands access to credit for community banks that power investments in many of the rural communities that I represent. https://barr.house.gov/press-releases?id=3976F634-6D56-4520-A7C1-A55B629794BA

Good morning from U.S. Army Fort Campbell — home of the legendary 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagles” and the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. I met today with Brigadier General Travis McIntosh to hear directly about how I can support the nearly 30,000 active-duty soldiers stationed here. Heroes stationed here played a key role in carrying out the Venezuela operation and some are deployed in Operation Epic Fury right now. God bless our troops!

I'm honored to receive a 4-star rating from the Kentucky Guard Association for my legislative work to support the National Guard.

It’s time to pass my No Tax on Drill Pay bill to exempt Guard drill pay from federal taxes. Whether you are active duty, reserve, or guard—I’ll always fight side-by-side for our military.

The National Guard Association of Kentucky is proud to announce the 2026 Legislative Champions Today.

Every day, Kentucky's National Guard members stand ready in every corner of our Commonwealth. NGAKY works to ensure they have the resources, benefits, and support they need to serve safely and effectively. NGAKY recognizes legislators who take concrete action, by sponsoring or co-sponsoring, to advance Guard-focused initiatives.

Thank you to those Senators and Representatives who supported National Guard priorities this session.

The 2026 Statesmen are:
