FRANKFORT, Ky. — On April 22nd, Kentucky Democratic Party (KDP) Chair Colmon Elridge released the following statement on Congressman Andy Barr’s decision to run for U.S. Senate, despite his record of ignoring, neglecting and betraying the 6th Congressional District constituents he’s already sworn to represent:

“In Congress, Andy Barr has done absolutely nothing while the Trump Administration cripples our economy, sends prices skyrocketing, targets Kentucky’s signature industries and threatens to gut health care that 1.5 million Kentuckians rely on. On April 22nd, he managed to launch his U.S. Senate campaign with a two-minute video that grovels for Trump’s endorsement and ignores the very real problems Kentuckians face every day.”
