ISSUES

Close the Border, Deport the Illegals.

Andy Barr believes we must deport all illegals and close the border. Andy has been a champion for border protection and supported President Trump as he secured the border during his first term. When Joe Biden opened our borders to millions of illegal immigrants, Andy fought them every step of the way. Andy cosponsored and voted for the Secure the Border Act, legislation that solidifies Trump border policies into federal law, such as:

  • Restarting border wall construction

  • Funding to hire more border agents

  • Reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy

  • Ending catch and release​

Andy will always fight alongside President Trump to keep our border secure.

Unleash The Middle Class, Extend TRUMP TAX CUTS

Andy partnered with President Trump to deliver the biggest tax cut in American history for Kentuckians in 2017, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). According to the Tax Policy Center, Kentuckians received a $1,600 tax cut on average in the first year of this law taking effect.

In February of 2025, Andy voted for legislation in the House to extend these tax cuts for Kentuckians and he’s fighting every day to get the Trump economic agenda passed through Congress. With President Trump and Andy Barr, the best days for Kentuckians are yet to come.

Keep Men Out of Girls' Sports

As the father of two daughters, Andy has long championed the protection of women and girls sports. He cosponsored and voted for the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, prohibiting biological men from competing in women’s sports. Andy has been clear, there are two genders – God given, not doctor altered – and there should be no men in girls’ sports, locker rooms, or bathrooms.

Andy has also fought to prohibit taxpayer money from being used for gender transition surgeries on minors.

Honor and Defend Our Veterans

Andy Barr has led the fight for our veterans, passing the Veterans Fairness and Transparency Act, ensuring our veterans had access to key disability benefits when federal offices shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To help our veterans transition to successful civilian careers, Andy championed the Veteran STEM Scholarship Enhancement Act into law. This law boosted science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) scholarships for veterans.

Most recently, Andy ushered through Congress legislation giving veterans more access to non-VA provided healthcare options.

Andy created the Sixth District Veterans Coalition, a group of volunteer veterans and advocates who come together to advise him on veterans issues. Andy Barr will always take care of our veterans.

Stand Proudly for Life

Andy is unabashedly pro-life and has consistently stood strong for life. Andy signed and delivered an amicus brief in support of overturning Roe v Wade in the Dobbs v Jackson case in 2022.

During his Congressional tenure, Andy has voted numerous times for pro-life legislation, such as:

  • The Born Alive Protection Act, requiring doctors and medical professionals to give medical care to babies born alive in botched abortions.

  • The Hyde Amendment, prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortions.

  • House resolutions condemning attacks on pro-life organizations and churches following the reversal of Roe.

Kentucky Energy Powers America

No one fought Biden’s war on energy more than Andy Barr. Good, clean, Kentucky coal powers America, and Andy Barr will always stand up to anyone who comes after coal. And the radical environmentalists hate Barr for it.

The first veto of Joe Biden’s presidency was a bill Andy wrote to block Biden’s ESG mandates to protect American’s retirement accounts and 401(k)s. And when Biden tried to backdoor the Green New Deal through financial regulators like the Federal Reserve and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Andy Barr held the line.

Now, Andy is working with President Trump to restore American energy dominance and lower costs for the American people. He’s voted for legislation that would allow energy companies to drill baby drill, expedite permits for energy projects, and end Biden-era regulations limiting energy exploration.

The Second Amendment is NOT Optional

When the Radical Left comes for your firearm or to impose more restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, Andy will stand in the breach and fight for our Second Amendment rights. Andy has consistently opposed gun control bills put forward to strip gun owners of their firearms without due process.

Andy also led the Fair Access to Banking Act, which prohibits banks from discriminating against the firearms industry.

 

In the last Congress, Andy had a perfect A+ voting record from the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Andy also proudly received endorsements in the past from the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America.

No one will work harder as your next U.S. Senator to protect your Second Amendment Right from every possible threat.

Cut Waste, Grow Freedom

Andy believes that the American people know how to spend their money better than bureaucrats in Washington. Andy has voted for the largest spending cuts ever put forward on mandatory spending and is working to reign in the ballooning debt and deficit. A longtime supporter of a Balanced Budget Amendment, Andy cosponsored and voted numerous times to require the federal government to balance the budget just like Kentuckians do at home.

Andy is a member of the Congressional DOGE Caucus, helping President Trump and Elon Musk as they extinguish fraud, waste, and abuse from our federal bureaucracy, and working to make those savings permanent.

Communits China Must Be Defeated

Kentuckians have seen first-hand the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). From the COVID-19 virus they unleashed on the world, to the spy balloons across Kentucky, to the fentanyl they’ve produced that has destroyed Kentucky families.

Andy Barr is leading the charge against the CCP. Andy led bipartisan legislation through the House sealing off American investment into Chinese military, surveillance, and technology companies, and he’s fighting to hold Communist China accountable for the fentanyl epidemic they have fueled.

With President Trump and Andy Barr, Communist China will be held accountable.
