KY-06: Andy Barr puts his record of non-service up against air combat veteran Amy McGrath

But, he said, “our policies are working.” He added, “We are getting people back to work.”

He also emphasizes his deep roots in the district — “I am a sixth-generation Lexingtonian” — to contrast with Ms. McGrath, a native of northern Kentucky who moved to the district last year after retiring from the Marine Corps.

“We both served our country,” Mr. Barr said. “I’ve served in a position where ideas matter. My opponent has served her country in the military, where execution matters.”

He is worse than useless, votes for every policy Trump puts forth, salivates when he imagines people losing their healthcare. He has an awful record, so he keeps attacking Amy McGrath. He went negative so early that he's going to have to get someone to swear that she eats live puppies by November, a person can even run out of new wretchedness after so long.

Job openings are all over Lexington - but it has nothing to do with you or the policies you support. Good paying jobs at that. Even the counties surrounding Fayette County have economies driven by Fayette County. In fact Andy, if anything, the economy is starting to slow in Lexington. Lexington/Fayette County won't support you in November. You are dependent on those other counties in your district. You are done Andy.
