Congressman Comer running for re-election

Western Kentucky Congressman James Comer said during an interview with WHOP News Friday morning that he will run for re-election in 2022.

The Republican from Monroe County believes Republicans can take back the House next year and says that would give him a strong voice in Congress.

A top priority for the next two years would be relieving bureaucracy that hinders expansion of broadband internet service in rural areas.

Comer is opposed by Madisonville Republican David Sharp in the GOP primary.
