Savanna Resident To Run For 89th Senate District in Illinois

A state representative from Savanna is running to represent a newly redrawn district that includes Jo Daviess County. Republican Tony McCombie has announced her campaign to represent the state’s 89th District in the Illinois House of Representatives, starting with seeking her party’s nomination in the June 28th primary. The district, the new boundaries of which were approved by lawmakers last year, includes all of Jo Daviess and Carroll counties, as well as portions of Stephenson, Winnebago, Ogle, Boone and DeKalb counties. McCombie has represented the 71st District in the Illinois House since 2017, and before that, she was the mayor of Savanna. She said she has focused on transparency in both of those roles, a quality she would carry into the 89th District if elected.
