Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie has criticized Governor J.B. Pritzker’s recent executive order establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission. In a statement, McCombie said, “Governor Pritzker’s so-called Accountability Commission is just another taxpayer-funded political stunt. He claims he wants immigration reform, but his own open-border policies and expanded Trust Act tell a different story.”
McCombie also questioned the governor's record on child welfare, stating, “He talks about truth and accountability, yet under his watch, over 1,200 children have died in DCFS care and thousands more have been injured — where is that accountability?”
She further commented on the governor’s approach to leadership: “At this point, the Governor’s talking points are stale and predictable, the same tiring political theatrics to try and keep his name in the national spotlight. Illinoisans deserve a leader focused on results, not another headline or late-night soundbite.”
McCombie was elected as a Republican representative for Illinois' 89th House District in 2023, succeeding Andrew Chesney.
