EDITOR'S NOTE: Rep. James Comer has one of the worst labor voting records in Congress. The latest AFL-CIO Legislative Scorecard, which shows where "lawmakers stand on issues important to working families, including strengthening Social Security and Medicare, freedom to join a union, improving workplace safety and more," shows that Comer voted the union position on legislation 10 percent of the time last year and 12 percent of the time he's been in Congress. When he ran for governor in 2015, Comer said if he won he'd make passing a "right to work" law "his first priority." (He lost in the GOP primary to pro-RTW Matt Bevin.) Comer is a co-sponsor of HR 1200, a national RTW law. Also, Comer voted against the PRO Act.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is in discussions with at least one publisher about a book deal at the same time that he is leading the Biden impeachment probe, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Comer's impeachment investigation of Biden is looking like a dud — but Republicans insist they plan to keep pressuring Biden over family money ties into 2025. A book would be a high-profile way to do that.
