Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie spoke at a House press conference on Wednesday saying that as the House Republicans move toward the 104th General Assembly they are looking to address where they stand as a state and why there is a need to "course correct" our current path. McCombie says that the gaslighting from Democrats needs to stop.

The Savanna Republican said this election cycle was a clear mandate against one-party control.  She said that residents of the state voted with their pocketbooks in mind, signaling a call for better fiscal accountability and immediate relief.

McCombie called it a wake-up call, demanding a departure from Democrat lead policies that have driven the state to where it stands today, facing a fiscal cliff.  She added that Illinois families are feeling the pain and are tired of watching hard-earned tax dollars vanish into the black hole of unchecked spending.  Because of that, the results at the polls spoke volumes.

Governor JB Pritzker, along with Colorado Governor Jared Polis are cochairing "Governors Safeguarding Democracy" in an effort to protect state-level institutions against federal overreach.
