Andy Barr's second marriage

Thanks. I updated the article. Marquardtika (talk) 02:37, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2010 and 2012 Elections

In the subheadings discussing the 2010 and 2012 elections of Barr it's extremely vague, unclear and wordy, making for a confusing read. 25eanglin (talk) 01:38, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in the section covering Barr's political issues there is little to no elaboration as to Barr's reasoning. 25eanglin (talk) 01:46, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
