EXCLUSIVE: After helping build “MAGA majority,” Andy Barr posts massive fundraising numbers

Rep. Andy Barr (R., Ky.) reported big fundraising numbers for the second quarter as he angles to be the America First Senator from Kentucky.

Barr raised $1.4 million and now has over $6.1 million cash on hand, according to fundraising numbers obtained exclusively by the Washington Reporter.

Barr’s latest numbers show that the fundraising momentum he’s demonstrated in his House career is transferring over to his Senate bid. Barr’s donors include conservative heavyweights, like Club For Growth megadonor Dick Uihlein.

Barr’s push to bring his America First brand to the U.S. Senate comes after his leadership PAC, Building America’s Republican Representation (BARR PAC) spent over $1.3 million in over 500 individual donations to Republican candidates in the 2022 and 2024 cycles to build a MAGA majority in Congress.

Last cycle alone, BARR PAC gave over half a million dollars to Republicans, including the Trump 47 Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), along with individual candidates across America. Those candidates included many who helped deliver the House GOP its majority.

Some recipients of Barr’s largesse were Reps. Rep. Lori Chavez-Deremer (R., Ore.), Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R., Texas), Rep. Andy Ogles (R., Tenn.) Rep. Tom Barrett (R., Mich.), Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R., Ariz.), Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R., Wis.), Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R., Pa.), Rep. Tom Kean (R., N.J.), and Rep. Jen Kiggans (R., Va.).

That MAGA majority blocked the Biden agenda in the last two years of his presidency and passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that President Trump just signed into law.

“Kentucky needs a battle-tested leader who can help President Trump implement the America First agenda on day one,” Barr said of his latest efforts. “This fundraising surge, powered by grassroots conservatives across Kentucky, proves we are the campaign best positioned with the momentum to win and deliver for Kentuckians.”

During Barr’s Senate campaign, he’s also rolled out endorsements from local elected officials across Kentucky, alongside national Republicans, like Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R., Okla.) and Reps. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.), Hal Rogers (R., Ky.), Steve Scalise (R., La.), and more.
