House Minority Leader Tony McCombie has released a statement following the death of former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar, who passed away after battling cancer.
“It is with deep sadness that I join Illinoisans in mourning the passing of Governor Jim Edgar. Governor Edgar was a dedicated public servant who led with independence, humility, and a genuine commitment to bringing people together.
“Throughout his distinguished career, he worked tirelessly to build bridges across party lines, strengthen Illinois’ fiscal foundation, and put the needs of our citizens ahead of politics. His steady leadership and principled example earned respect from Republicans and Democrats alike.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to his wife Brenda, his family, and all who loved and admired him.
“May he rest in peace!”
McCombie is a Republican who began serving in the Illinois State House in 2023 as the representative for the 89th House District, taking over from Andrew Chesney.
