Prior to his election to the State House, Barrar served as an Upper Chichester Township commissioner from 1992 to 1996, and was board president from 1994 to 1996. At the same time, he also ran a business he purchased in 1984, Twin Oaks Garden Mart. Barrar ran this retail garden center until 1997, when he closed the business to focus his energy on working as a full-time state legislator. Barrar served as Republican Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee. In December 2019, Barrar announced that he will not seek re-election in 2020. Barrar criticized Tom Wolf's response to the coronavirus pandemic, stating "I think the governor needs to back off a little bit from the strict (idea) that he’s the only one who can decide when a county is going to go from red to yellow to green, and the county and legislators" should make that decision. Personal
