Keep Barr in Congress

U.S. Rep. Andy Barr continues to impress. Not only is he one of the nicest fellows you’d ever want to meet, but he has been working very hard in Washington and here at home. I’ve seen him at event after event, always making time to listen to the folks. He was even along the route of the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Lexington. Barr really is one of us.

With all the problems in our nation’s capital, we must look at why this country has gotten to this point. We have some folks there who want to rule as if they have unlimited power, which is completely against the founding of this country. We must be mindful that they will never stop of their own accord, so we need to elect folks like Barr who reflect the real values of Kentucky and America. By having strong representation in the U.S. House, we can check many of the power grabs by those people.

Barr, his wife and their two beautiful daughters are the picture of Kentucky. Together, we need to make sure all of our kids have the best possible future. Please join me in voting for Barr.
