As a member of the Committee on Homeland Security, Barry has tirelessly worked to combat the threat of terrorism against Americans. Upon being selected to serve on a special Counter-terrorism Task Force, Barry traveled to the Middle East, Israel, France, and Turkey to meet with officials in those countries to study various methods being employed to combat ISIS and other terrorist organizations.

Barry is working in Congress to strengthen the hand of local and state law enforcement in the fight against terrorism, by making it easier for local forces to work with the Department of Homeland Security and other Federal Agencies. Barry believes our hometown sheriffs and policemen know our communities the best, and are more equipped to work with citizens to watch for and investigate suspicious activity.
