2016

The following issues were listed on Comer's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Agriculture: Family farms are the backbone of the First District. Owning a successful 2000 acre beef cattle, hay, timber, and grain farming operation, I know first-hand the hard decisions that farmers must make on a daily basis. Debt & Spending: The national debt is now over $19 trillion. By comparison, the total debt when Obama took office was $7.5 trillion. This type of spending is unacceptable. We must get the spending in Washington under control so that we do not saddle our children and grandchildren with unmanageable mountains of debt. This is why I support a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. 2nd Amendment: I am unwavering in my support of our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. During my time in the Kentucky General Assembly, I voted unfailingly to support gun rights and protect the 2nd Amendment. I am also a hunter and lifelong gun owner and advocate. Life and Marriage: I am 100% pro-life and I oppose gay marriage. While I was a Kentucky State Representative, I cosponsored the 2005 amendment that made same sex marriage illegal in Kentucky. As a Congressman, I will always strongly support life and only support traditional marriage between one man and one woman. I will make sure that liberal, anti-family groups like Planned Parenthood never get one penny of our tax dollars. Term Limits: Our founding fathers never envisioned a Congress where elected officials stayed in office for decades. In fact, most of the founding fathers were farmers. I support term limits and pledge to take a self-imposed term limit of 6 terms. I have also signed the U.S. Term Limits Amendment Pledge to co-sponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits Amendment.	”

2015

In a speech announcing his candidacy for governor on September 9, 2014, he outlined his campaign's themes including lower taxes, local control over education and reduced government regulation over the coal industry.
