Evidence

FY2019 ratio of total debt to personal income was 5.96%; FY2025 ratio was 3.90%.

Kentucky's official debt ratio was already below 6% by FY2019, and remained below 6% in the latest FY2025 report, which is consistent with the promise's target being met within four years.

Assessments

partial later_term

Kentucky's debt-to-personal-income ratio was below the promised 6 percent threshold by FY2019 and stayed below it thereafter, so the policy outcome itself occurred within the promised window. But the evidence only shows the statewide metric changed; it does not show Comer, in a federal-office context or through a material state-level governing role, personally delivered or substantially drove that result. Because the target was met but appears attributable mainly to Kentucky's broader fiscal management under other officials rather than to Comer directly, this fits partial credit instead of full delivery.
