Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie appeared on the American Potential Podcast to discuss her early involvement in local change and how it led to her current role in state government. In a conversation with host David From, McCombie reflected on her initial efforts in her hometown and how those experiences influenced her political journey.

Listeners can hear McCombie recount what she described as “one small step” that inspired her to pursue public service, eventually leading to her position in the Illinois House of Representatives. "Listen to her recent podcast episode with host David From," the release states.

McCombie, a Republican, was elected in 2023 to represent Illinois’ 89th House District after succeeding former representative Andrew Chesney.
