Pat Hughes released the following statement on Term Limits:
“Washington D.C. has quickly become the primary place of residency for some members of Congress. In the past twenty years over 90% of House members who ran for re-election have won and over 80% of Senators who have run for re-election have won. It is an astonishing high incumbency rate and an odd occurrence due to the fact that Congress has not seen an approval rating over 50% in almost as many years. Setting term limits for Congress helps set a standard for responsible government and responsible representation of the people. When members of Congress begin to see their office as a career and not a public service, they have lost sight of what serving in Congress is about; representation of the people. Politics should be about the people, not the office.”
“If elected to the U.S. Senate I would not only work towards getting term limits set for Congress, I would also pledge to only serve two terms as a Senator myself. Our country thrives when the voices of the people are heard and represented.”
Tomorrow, Pat will be available for interviews on Term Limits and taking on Mark Kirk at the Will County Tea Party Alliance/Tea Party Express Event: STOP MARK KIRK RALLY in Homer Glen. Details for the event are located here. We hope to see you there!
If you wish to coordinate an interview during tomorrow’s event, please contact Michael Sullivan: phughes@patrickhughesforsenate.com so that we can reference your blog on our website, and in our Facebook and Twitter feeds.
Sincerely,
Patrick Hughes for Senate Campaign
