State Representative Tony McCombie (IL) | Representative Tony M. McCombie (R) 89th District
In a recent development in the Illinois House of Representatives, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie expressed her caucus's stance following a protest against several resolutions proposed by the majority party. The House Republicans, under McCombie's leadership, chose to leave in a unified demonstration and abstained from voting.
McCombie articulated her position through an official statement: “Today, House Republicans stood together for working families across Illinois and against the petty political games of the majority party. We are here to promote economic growth, improve public safety, and deliver real relief to taxpayers. It’s time to do our jobs—offering solutions that benefit our state and the hardworking people we represent. House Republicans are here to work, not to waste time on political theater.”
The actions reflect ongoing tensions between the minority and majority parties in addressing legislative priorities. The focus remains on issues such as economic growth, public safety, and taxpayer relief.
