Fox News
In a time where the parties rarely work together, Rep. Andy Barr's heart disease research bill in honor of his late wife, Carol Barr, is getting a bipartisan boost.
"Carol Barr was the greatest wife, mother and friend anyone could ever have. She was the most selfless and caring person I knew and she lived a life of impact and consequence. The CAROL Act is not only a tribute to her legacy but it will invest in research to prevent the tragedy that has so profoundly impacted my family from happening to others," Barr, a Kentucky Republican, told Fox News in a statement. "I am so grateful that my fellow Kentuckian, Leader Mitch McConnell, who Carol so admired, is leading this legislation in the Senate along with my friend, Senator Kyrsten Sinema. With this incredible bicameral, bipartisan momentum, I know we can move this legislation forward and save lives," he continued.More Related News
