Term Limits for Congress: A Common-Sense Reform

Washington works best when it remembers who it serves. But when politicians stay in office for decades, the system starts to serve itself. That's why I support term limits for Congress — not as a talking point, but as a practical reform to bring accountability back to the people.

Why term limits matter

Congress was never meant to be a lifetime job. When someone holds power for too long, a few things tend to happen:

  • Career politics replaces public service. The focus shifts from solving problems to protecting a seat.
  • Special interests gain more influence. Long-time insiders build deep relationships with lobbyists and big donors.
  • New voices get crowded out. Fresh ideas and real-world experience struggle to break through.

Term limits won't fix everything, but they can help reset the incentives. The goal is simple: more listening, less entitlement.

What term limits could look like

There are different ways to do this, but here's a straightforward approach many voters support:

  • House of Representatives: 6 terms (12 years)
  • U.S. Senate: 2 terms (12 years)

That's enough time to learn the job, fight for your district, and deliver results — without turning the position into a permanent career.

The argument against term limits — and the real answer

Some people say term limits would:

  • Reduce experience in Congress
  • Increase the power of unelected staff
  • Make it harder to pass complex legislation

Those are fair concerns. But the bigger problem is what we have right now: a system where seniority can matter more than merit, and where staying in office becomes the main objective.

Experience matters — but real accountability matters more. And nothing is more accountable than knowing your time is limited and you'll be going back home to live under the laws you helped create.

Term limits and trust

A lot of people in Nevada's District 4 feel like government has stopped listening. Term limits are one way to rebuild trust. They send a message that no one is entitled to power, and that elected office is a responsibility — not a reward.

My commitment

I'm not running to become a career politician. I'm running to represent our communities, do the work, and deliver results. Term limits are part of that mindset: serve, solve, and step aside.
