Rep. Andy Barr beats back Democratic challenge in Kentucky
Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) is projected to win reelection in a closely watched race for a seat targeted by Democrats for a takeover.
The Associated Press called the race for Barr shortly after 9 p.m. ET.
Barr is projected to win his fourth term representing a swath of Kentucky including Lexington and Frankfort, fending off Democratic challenger Josh Hicks, an attorney and retired Marine.
Barr was favored to hold on to his seat despite Democratic inroads in other GOP-learning urban and suburban districts. He is the top Republican on the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
