Comer won election as Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture in 2011. He defeated Rob Rothenburger in the May 17 Republican primary and Democrat Robert Farmer in the general election on November 8.
The Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture is an elected state executive position in the Kentucky state government. The commissioner is responsible for expanding agricultural markets, increasing rural economic development, and promoting the Kentucky Proud program.
Commissioners are elected to a four-year term, and are limited to serving two terms.
