Barr Votes Again to Reopen the Government, Blasts Democrats for the Schumer Shutdown

Washington, D.C.— Tonight, U.S. Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY) voted for legislation to reopen the government and fund operations through January 30, 2026. Following his vote, Congressman Barr released this statement: “For over 40 days, Senate Democrats held our nation hostage—blocking paychecks for air traffic controllers and putting food assistance for millions at risk. In the end, they achieved nothing but creating chaos. I’m proud to stand with President Trump and House Republicans to reopen the government and get back to delivering the America First agenda.” ###
