Assessments
Comer clearly made the promise during his 2015 campaign for Kentucky governor, but the available evidence indicates he lost the Republican primary and therefore never held the governorship needed to implement a statewide 10 percent reduction in Kentucky government spending. There is no evidence that he later delivered this outcome through another office or that the promised cut was enacted because of his material action. Because the promise concerned an executive result he never had the authority to carry out after losing the nomination, it should be scored as not fulfilled rather than delivered or partial.
