Andy Barr files for re-election

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) — Rep. Andy Barr is running for re-election.

Barr announced the news Friday after filing for re-election.

The Republican from Lexington has served as the state Representative for the sixth congressional district since 2013.

He says he’s running again to help get the country back on the right track.

“I filed for reelection and did so primarily because the country is on the wrong track. That’s what my constituents tell me and it doesn’t take a lot of searching to figure that out,” Barr said.

Barr is also a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee in Washington, D.C.
