House Minority Leader Tony McCombie is pushing back against Governor JB Pritzker’s list of 2025 accomplishments, calling the year “bad for Governor Pritzker” and criticizing his focus on political ambitions over real change in Illinois. McCombie points to increased taxes, a ballooning bill backlog, and new laws she says are pushing businesses away.
The statement highlights failures to address crises, including deaths under DCFS care, and critiques sanctuary state policies and the reallocation of transportation funds. House Republicans are calling for bipartisan solutions in 2026, urging focus on affordability, accountability, and practical relief for families across the state.
