Ron DeSantis, Carlos Lopez-Cantera Back Congressional Term Limits Amendment

U.S. Term Limits (USTL) announced on Monday morning that two Republicans running for the U.S. Senate--U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis and Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera--signed its pledge to back a constitutional amendment on congressional term limits. 

“I pledge that as a member of the U.S. Senate I will cosponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits amendment of three (3) House terms and two (2) Senate terms and no longer limit,” the pledge reads. 

“We applaud both candidates for having the courage to make term limits a top priority of their campaigns,” USTL President Philip Blumel said on Monday. “It is important that we have people in the Senate who are willing to uphold the principles of a citizen legislature and rotation in office as laid out by our founding fathers.

“These two candidates have shown exceptional leadership by standing with 75 percent of the American people who support term limits on Congress," Blumel added. “Their commitment will put lobbyists and professional politicians everywhere on notice.”

Last week, Lopez-Cantera doubled down on his promise to only serve two terms in the Senate if elected.
