Chairman James Comer

James Comer is Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. He previously served as Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee from June 2020 to December 2022. He aggressively advocates for reducing waste, fraud and abuse in government and works tirelessly to reduce burdensome regulations and boost government transparency and accountability.

Comer was elected to Congress in 2016 to represent the 1st Congressional District of Kentucky. He grew up in Monroe County, KY and attended Western Kentucky University to study agriculture. Shortly thereafter, Comer entered the business world, taking out a loan and purchasing his farm.

In 2000, Comer was elected to serve the first of six terms in the Kentucky House of Representatives. With a reputation for a solid work ethic and conservative values, he was named National Republican Freshman Legislator of the Year during his first term.

Comer was elected to serve as Kentucky’s Commissioner of Agriculture in 2011, and inherited growing problems at the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. He immediately set out to work in a bipartisan way to clean up scandal, restore confidence, and crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse at the agency. Comer spearheaded initiatives to grow Kentucky’s rural economy and increase opportunities for Kentucky farmers, while also standing up for taxpayers by selling unneeded equipment and returning money to the state treasury.

In addition to serving as the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, he is also a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) WASHINGTON (AP) — The most far-right House Republicans, early opponents of Speaker Kevin McCarthy and even embattled new Rep. George Santos all are in line for coveted committee assignments. Some are set to serve on the high-profile oversight committee investigating President Joe Biden’s administration. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar of Arizona will get to serve on committees now that Republicans have dislodged Democrats from the majority. When Democrats were in charge, both lawmakers were booted from their assignments for being too extreme. Santos, who has acknowledged lying to New York voters about his past, has picked up two committee assignments. The full House Republican conference must ratify the recommendations, but that generally is a formality. A look at who went where in the new House. GREENE, GOSAR BACK ON COMMITTEES Two years ago, Democrats under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi voted just weeks into the last Congress to remove Greene from both her committees . It was an extraordinary punishment that Democrats said she had earned by spreading hateful and violent conspiracy theories. Eleven Republicans joined 219 Democrats in backing Greene’s ejection from her committees. This week, a GOP panel that selects most of the committee leaders and hands out committee assignments recommended that Greene serve on two important committees: Homeland Security and House Oversight and Accountability. Greene, who is now one of McCarthy’s fiercest supporters, had embraced an array of conspiracy theories before winning election in 2020. For example, in November 2018, she talked about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, referring to a “so-called” plane that crashed into the Pentagon. She also “liked” a January 2019 Facebook post that called for “a bullet to the head” of Pelosi. McCarthy, R-Calif., argued that the majority party in the House should not dictate how the minority disciplines its members. He described the removal of Greene’s committee assignments as a partisan power grab. Greene, who often trolls Democrats on social media, has said Biden should resign. “Joe Biden, be prepared. We are going to uncover every corrupt business dealing, every foreign entanglement, every abuse of power, and every check cut for The Big Guy,” Greene said. Gosar lost his committee assignments in late 2021 after posting an animated video that depicted him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., with a sword. Democrats said the video was a clear threat to a lawmaker’s life, and they argued that Gosar’s conduct would not be tolerated in any other workplace — and shouldn’t be in Congress. The vote to censure Gosar and remove him from his House committee assignments was approved almost entirely along party lines. Then-Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois the only Republicans voting in favor. Gosar will return to the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, his assignments before the punishment. SANTOS TO SCIENCE AND SMALL BUSINESS State and local Republican leaders in New York have called on Santos to resign after lying to voters about his resume and family heritage. Santos says he’s staying and McCarthy has taken the position that the voters will have the final say in the matter in 2024, when Santos would be up for reelection. Republicans have such a slim House majority that even losing one Republican seat makes it that much tougher to pass legislation. Santos represents a Long Island-based district that could flip to Democrats in a special election. Santos will serve on two lower-profile committees: the House Small Business Committee and the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. MCCARTHY’S DETRACTORS A core group of Republicans who opposed McCarthy for speaker but ultimately changed their votes to present, allowing him to prevail in the 15th round, got their committee assignments. Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona and Matt Gaetz of Florida will remain on the House Judiciary Committee. Biggs also returns to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Rep. Eli Crane of Arizona, in his first term, was recommended for the House Homeland Security Committee, where he says he will “fiercely combat the disaster at our border.” He also will be on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee and the House Small Business Committee. Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana will return to the House Natural Resources Committee. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado will serve on that committee as well as the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, where Republicans will look into the business dealings of Hunter Biden in an attempt to find any connection to the president. OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE NOTABLES Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania , chairman of ultra-conservative Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus, retained his seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and added a new assignment: the high-profile House Oversight and Accountability Committee. “Boy, do I have some questions,” said Perry, about his role on that investigative committee. Perry has continuously disputed the validity of Biden’s 2020 victory in Pennsylvania. The committee investigating the Capitol riot referred him to the House Ethics Committee , along with McCarthy, Biggs and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, for defying subpoenas seeking their testimony. The addition of Perry, Boebert, Greene and Gosar to the House Oversight and Accountability presents challenges for Republicans who will need to show a strong measure of seriousness and even-handedness over the coming months to ensure credibility with voters about their findings. Those lawmakers are among Trump’s strongest allies in the House and are known for their inflammatory political discourse. The committee chairman, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, called members of his committee “an all-star lineup ready to hit the ground running and go to bat for the American people.” White House spokesman Ian Sams said that “with these members joining the Oversight Committee, it appears that House Republicans may be setting the stage for divorced-from-reality political stunts, instead of engaging in bipartisan work on behalf of the American people.” Associated Press writer Colleen Long contributed to this report. FACT CHECK: James Comer Lies Again Sep 28, 2023 The entire basis for the impeachment inquiry into President Biden has been nothing but lies and conspiracy theories. During his opening statement at today’s first impeachment hearing, we heard the same lies he’s been spouting for months. The facts you won’t hear from Comer’s mouth? Nine months of MAGA Republican investigations have turned up not a single shred of evidence that President Biden has committed any wrongdoing whatsoever. Today’s Republican witnesses are partisan hacks without firsthand knowledge – there are no fact witnesses. And this entire charade was pushed by Donald Trump in order to distract from his own 91 felony counts and four indictments. James Comer’s Lies Lie #1: The House Oversight Committee Has Uncovered Evidence of Wrongdoing Claim : In his opening statement, Comer claimed: “Since assuming our Republican majority in January, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee has uncovered a mountain of evidence.”  The Facts : Despite nine months of Congressional investigations, 12,000 pages of documents reviewed, 2,000 pages of Suspicious Activity Reports, interviews with Hunter Biden’s business associates, an interview with President Biden’s bookkeeper, interviews with federal agents assigned to the Hunter Biden investigation, and every subpoena answered, House Republicans have failed to produce evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden. A wide range of House Republicans from House Freedom Caucus Member Ken Buck to Biden district Republicans Mike Lawler and Don Bacon agree there is not enough evidence to move forward with impeachment.  Lie #2: President Biden Was Involved In Hunter Biden’s Foreign Business Dealings Claim : In his opening statement, Comer claimed: “Evidence reveals that then Vice President Joe Biden spoke, dined, and developed relationships with his family’s foreign business targets. These Business targets include foreign oligarchs who sent millions of dollars to his family. It also includes a Chinese national who wired a quarter of a million dollars to his son.” The Facts : Republicans’ own witness, Hunter Biden’s business associate Devon Archer, did NOT testify that President Biden was directly involved in business discussions – only that he held casual conversations about “the weather” and “fishing.” Witness testimony referred to approximately 20 instances over the span of a decade in which Hunter indicated Joe Biden was merely present.  Lie #3: Chinese Nationals Wired Money to President Biden’s Home Address. Claim : In his opening statement, Comer claimed: “Just this week, we uncovered two additional wires sent to Hunter Biden that originated in Beijing from Chinese nationals. This happened when Joe Biden was running for President of the United States and Joe Biden’s home is listed as the beneficiary address.” The Facts : The wire transfer in question was a documented loan directly deposited into a bank account solely belonging to Hunter Biden – wire transfers are not delivered to physical addresses. Some wire transfers require a listed physical address for the recipient, and at the time, Hunter Biden’s personal driver’s license listed his father’s Delaware address – a known fact that had been reported on for months before Comer’s supposed bombshell revelation . Lie #4: President Biden Laundered $20 Million Through Illegitimate Shell Companies Claim : In his opening statement, Comer claimed: “To date, the House Oversight Committee has uncovered how the Bidens and their associates created over 20 shell companies, most of which were created when Joe Biden was Vice President, and raked in over $20 million between 2014 and 2019.” The Facts : A ccording to the Washington Post, “A close reading of the memos, however, finds that only about $7 million can be directly attributed to Biden family members , mostly Hunter, while the rest went to ‘associates,’ according to the memos. […] No money has been traced to Joe Biden. ” In May, House Republicans released a report about several of the companies in question – but their own report found no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden . Independent fact-checkers further concluded : “ that claim is undercut by the list of 21 companies that appear in the second staff memo. Virtually all of the companies (many of which now are defunct) had legitimate business interests. Others had clearly identified business investments.

Rep.  James Comer  (R-Ky.) was tapped Monday to take over as the top Republican on the powerful House Oversight and Reform Committee from former Rep.  Mark Meadows  (R-N.C.), who is now  President Trump 's chief of staff. Comer edged out Rep.  Jody Hice  (R-Ga.), the most senior member on the panel and one of the leading voices in the conservative House Freedom Caucus, and Rep.  Mark Green  (R-Tenn.), a first-term member and veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The Kentucky Republican is slated to fill the seat previously held by Meadows, who vacated the role after he was named White House chief of staff earlier this year. Comer, a second-term lawmaker, has been an active member on the Oversight and Reform Committee, serving as the top Republican on its Subcommittee on the Environment. Before Congress, he served as the agriculture commissioner of Kentucky.  The Oversight and Reform Committee — the main investigative panel in the lower chamber — is one of the most influential committees in Congress, holding jurisdiction over a broad range of issues and one of just three standing committees that holds the authority to authorize subpoenas under House rules. Comer was elected to the position by the House Republican Steering Committee, which consists of top Republican lawmakers and is tasked with determining committee assignments. Minority Leader  Kevin McCarthy  (R-Calif.) and Minority Whip  Steve Scalise  (R-La.) hold the most power on the Steering Committee, with McCarthy counting for four votes and Scalise counting for two; the rest of its 29 members are allotted one vote each. Comer said he is ready to hit the ground running as he assumes his new role.  “I just made the pitch that I'll be focused like a laser on waste, fraud and abuse. I'm not out there to try to focus on throwing red meat and one-liners to try to get in the press. I'm focused on trying to get real government reform. And I'm gonna do everything in my ability to defend anyone who's been mistreated or falsely accused on the Oversight Committee,” he told The Hill in an interview.   “I believe our role should be to seek the truth and that's what I'm going to do as ranking member and I'm blessed to have a great committee — that's a committee filled with a lot of fighters and a lot of institutional knowledge.” Comer said since being selected to assume the role, he has already spoken with Oversight Chairwoman  Carolyn Maloney  (D-N.Y.) and is the process of setting up meetings with members to discuss future plans as he settles into his new position.  “I'm obviously very excited, I appreciate the confidence the Steering Committee had in me. We're busy setting meetings now with members of the Oversight Committee, I'm going to their offices and we'll sit down, I’ll take notes, listen to everybody on the committee,” he also told The Hil.   “I’ve already met with Chairwoman Maloney on the floor. We had a great very cordial conversation about moving forward and trying to see if there are any areas where we can have some type of bipartisan agreement. But, you know, replacing  Jim Jordan , I feel like the poor guy that's gonna be the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots replacing Tom Brady, but, we're excited and ready to go.” Since Comer is assuming the position more than halfway through the 116th Congress, he will be eligible to serve as the top Republican on the committee for an additional three full terms under the House GOP’s rules. The position has previously been held by some of Trump’s top attack dogs in the House, with GOP members on the panel playing a pivotal role in defending the president during impeachment proceedings. Meadows was the top Oversight Republican for a very brief period. He assumed the role shortly after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was shifted to lead Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee after Rep.  Doug Collins  (R-Ga.), the former ranking member on the Judiciary Committee, stepped down from the position after announcing his Senate bid in February. In addition to choosing the new ranking member of the Oversight Committee, the Steering Committee opted to place Rep.  Gary Palmer  (R-Ala.) back on the panel. Palmer, the House GOP's policy chairman, previously sat on the committee during the 115th Congress.
