News Article: Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce to Host Government Forum with Rep. Andy Barr
On August 15, 2025, the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a Government Forum, featuring a conversation with U.S. Representative Andy Barr. The event will take place at the Receptions Banquet and Conference Center - South in Erlanger, Kentucky.
Rep. Barr, who has represented Kentucky's Sixth Congressional District since 2013, will discuss the latest developments in Washington and how federal actions could impact local businesses in Northern Kentucky. As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Select Committee on China, he will offer insights on these matters, as well as his aspirations as a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2026.
One of the key topics that Rep. Barr is expected to address is his support for the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, a law aimed at making America the dominant home for cryptocurrency for future generations. He has also played a significant role in crafting and voting for the Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was recently signed into law by President Trump.
In addition, Rep. Barr has advanced sanctions on those involved in China's fentanyl supply chain and led efforts to confront the threat of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) by authoring legislation to block U.S. investment in Chinese military and surveillance companies.
