The cost of homeownership in IL has gotten much more expensive in just the last 5 years. According to a recent study from MoneyLion, Illinoisans need to make $40,871 more than they did 5 years ago in order to afford a home. However, under @GovPritzker, wage growth has stagnated.
Our residents, homeowners, and job creators face some of the highest effective tax rates in the nation and it's pushing the American Dream further and further out of reach for Illinois families.

Join us in wishing our Floor Leader, State Representative Patrick Windhorst, a very happy birthday today! 🥳
Democrats' digital asset tax is another step in the wrong direction for IL. Not only is the tax legally questionable, it heaps yet another burden onto already over-taxed Illinoisans.
Rep. Cabello's HB 5798 will repeal the tax & protect residents from even higher costs. #twill
A slew of ethics scandals rocked Illinois Democrats this summer, the latest in a long history of corruption in Illinois. Governor Pritzker's response? Lawmakers should simply remove themselves from office if they want to break the law. thecentersquare.com/illinois…
Elected officials need to be held accountable for bad behavior. House Republicans have consistently called for real ethics reforms, and we will continue to stand up for an honest, transparent state government. The people of Illinois deserve it. #twill
Ulysses S. Grant was one of four U.S. Presidents to call IL home. In honor of President Grant's connection & contributions to the Prairie State, Leader McCombie has filed legislation to declare April 27 of each year as Ulysses S. Grant Day in IL. repmccombie.com/2026/10/15/l… #twill
A broken electronic monitoring system & flaws in Democrats' SAFE-T Act are putting communities in danger. We've introduced numerous measures to strengthen public safety in IL. It's time for @GovPritzker & IL Democrats to finally get serious about protecting our communities #twill
House Republicans have introduced legislation to make sure IL is ready for the roll out of the Education Freedom Tax Credit. HB 4201 will identify eligible scholarship granting organizations within IL. All @GovPritzker has to do is opt into the program.

House Republicans introduced several measures to fix the troubling failures of Illinois' electronic monitoring system. So far, Governor Pritzker and Illinois Democrats have refused to take action to correct this glaring public safety issue. #twill thecaucusblog.com/2026/10/an…
ICYMI: Illinois' tax burden is up nearly $86 billion under Governor Pritzker. As if that weren't bad enough, wages in the state grew 0% from 2018-2025. We can't tax our way to prosperity. We must make Illinois more affordable to promote growth.
