Comer praised local leaders, including Mayor Brandi Harless and Judge Executive Craig Clymer.
He said, "I do think everyone on the local, state, and federal level's hearts are in the right place. We're learning and trying to do our best. I just think what you've done here in Paducah has been a real success story."
Comer outlined three priorities congressional leaders have had in response to the pandemic.
The first priority has been frontline healthcare workers. He says they are desperately trying to ensure that there is enough money designated to PPE for healthcare workers. He hopes that moving forward more PPE will be made in the United States, calling it an opportunity for economic development.
The second priority has been unemployment. Comer says they are working to ensure that no displaced worker goes without a paycheck.
The third priority has been small businesses. They have designated more money to go toward businesses that are struggling due to the pandemic.
Comer encourages anyone with questions or concerns to contact his office, and he will do what he can to assist them.
