"We have a real opportunity to bring balance to Illinois with your involvement and support at the polls! Let's GO!! PS... yes I also had to stop at Boone's for Fish Tacos and Saputos for all things garlic!" McCombie also spent some time at the Whiteside County Fair on Aug. 18.
She has also spoken out about the misuse of SNAP funds in a Facebook post.
"Many years ago I was questioned by a new clerk using my mother's 'SNAP' card to buy her Ensure... she was only able to eat through a feeding tube at that point... luckily I shopped local and the owner knew me and quickly remedied the situation but today there is little to question and grocery clerks around the district do talk to me about fraud!" McCombie said. "They feel guilty doing so because they want people to be helped but know this program has gotten too big to avoid the misuse! Misuse that will hurt those that need it the most!
