Barr Lands Key Committee Assignments

Kentucky Sixth District Congressman-elect Andy Barr announced his committee assignments Thursday. Barr will be a member of the House Committee on Financial Services, which is led by fellow Republican Spencer Baucus. The financial services panel is considered a "top-tier," committee that dealt directly with the bank bailouts and crafted the controversial Dodd-Frank Act.
