In light of the tragedy unfolding in Texas, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie released the following statement:
“Our hearts are heavy as we watch the devastating floods unfold across Texas. Each day brings more heartbreaking news—families displaced, communities underwater, lives lost or forever changed.
“To those impacted: we see you, we are praying for you, and we are standing with you.
“In times like these, the strength of our nation is found in our compassion. Whether through prayer, donations, or simply reaching out to those in need, let’s show Texas they’re not facing this alone.
“May God bring comfort to the grieving, strength to the rescuers, and hope to all those still waiting for relief.”
