In 1941, he joined the United States Marine Corps and served as Sergeant in the South Pacific during World War II.[1]

In 1942, he ran unsuccessfully for Illinois Treasurer. In 1944, Barrett was elected Illinois Secretary of State. Reelected in 1948, he served until after his defeat in 1952.[1]

In 1955, Barrett was appointed Cook County Clerk to replace Richard J. Daley who was elected Mayor of Chicago.

He was sentenced to three years in prison and fined $15,000, but was allowed house arrest because of ill health.
