Rep. Andy Barr in The Lexington Herald-Leader: Senate must pass Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
“Last month, I voted to pass President Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill. It was an easy vote. The president’s leadership produced a transformational legislative win that will deliver an across-the-board tax cut for families, small businesses, farmers and seniors. On top of tax relief for Kentuckians still rebounding from four years of runaway inflation under Joe Biden, we surge resources to help law enforcement seal the Southern border and provide $1.6 trillion in deficit reduction, all while strengthening Medicaid for Kentuckians who need it.” Read the full op-ed by clicking here.
“This legislation delivers on the promises made to the American people: to secure the border, cut taxes, unleash American energy and restore fairness to our economy. It reflects what voters demanded and what I pledged to deliver.

Tens of thousands of American lives depend on our success, as does the future stability of North America. The United States simply cannot allow Mexico, our neighbor and largest trading partner, to devolve into a failed narco-state.” Read the full op-ed by clicking here.
“A panel of judges is openly defying Trump administration policy — and effectively allowing a Chinese firm to keep stealing an American semiconductor technology used in everything from self-driving cars to satellites. These judges are not members of the judicial branch. They are executive branch employees, and the Trump administration has the authority to overrule their dangerous decision. It should do so immediately to protect American workers and uphold the rule of law.” Read the full op-ed by clicking here.
Rep. Rob Wittman in The Virginian-Pilot: Voting for spending bill kept my word to Virginians
“The Virginian-Pilot & Daily Press Editorial Board recently accused me of selling out my constituents by voting for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“A predictable betrayal,” Our Views, May 23). That couldn’t be further from the truth. Let me set the record straight: I kept my word. I fought for Virginians, and I voted to protect working families, strengthen our safety net, and invest in national…” Ready the full op-ed by clicking here.
