Unleashing economic growth begins with reducing taxes and reining in government regulations that make it more difficult for Americans to start businesses, compete globally and grow jobs here at home.
James Comer would support reducing taxes and reining in regulations to promote economic growth and job creation.

Assessments
Comer promised to support tax reduction and regulatory rollback, not necessarily to single-handedly enact them. In the 2023-2025 House term following the 2022 campaign, he voted for H.R.7024, a House-passed tax relief and business-growth package, and for H.R.277, the REINS Act, a major regulatory-control bill. Later, in the next term, he also voted for enacted tax-reduction and deregulatory measures, reinforcing fulfillment. Because the promised action was support and he took concrete same-term votes aligned with both parts of the promise, this counts as delivered in the same term.
