Comer Visits CCHS Civics Club

Civics Club Judge-Executive Sadie Arterburn and Cumberland County Judge-Executive Luke King sign the proclamation, joined by Congressman James Comer and members of the CCHS Civics Club.

The Cumberland County Civics Club met on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at the Cumberland County High School with U.S. Congressman James Comer and discussed his role in public service for the last 20+ years.  Congressman Comer shared how public service has changed since he entered the field two decades ago.  He also congratulated the group on their success forming the organization and for pioneering a local internship program.  After speaking with the group of young leaders, Congressman Comer joined Civics Club Judge-Executive Sadie Arterburn and County Judge-Executive Luke King for a proclamation signing, recognizing October 17, 2024 as Youth in Public Service Day in Cumberland County.

“One of the most rewarding parts of the judge-executive role has been watching the youth of our county grow and develop into future leaders for the entire region and state.  Since the program started nearly a year ago, I’ve watched them engage with local, state, and federal officials.  Congressman Comer got to see first-hand that all the compliments of this group are well-deserved,” said Judge-Executive King.

“We appreciate Congressman Comer’s time and recognize how big of a deal it is for a group of youth in just one of his 34 Kentucky counties to be able to have this kind of conversation with him.  All of us were pleased to show a U.S. Congressman that we’re taking our role in shaping the future very seriously,” said Civics Club Judge-Executive Sadie Arterburn.

U.S. Congressman James Comer serves Kentucky’s First Congressional District and currently serves as chairman for the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
