Jarvis Johnson Named Texas State Co-Chair for U.S. Term Limits

U.S. Term Limits announced today that former Texas State Representative Jarvis Johnson has agreed to serve as Texas State Co-Chair for the organization. Johnson, who served in the Texas House of Representatives from 2016 through January 2025, brings more than three decades of public service and community leadership to the effort to enact congressional term limits.

Johnson expressed his commitment to the cause, stating that Americans are frustrated with a Congress that has become disconnected from the people it serves. He emphasized that term limits would help restore accountability and encourage citizen leadership. Johnson noted that the Founding Fathers never intended public office to become a lifetime career and that term limits would ensure elected officials focus on serving the people rather than preserving political power.

Throughout his career, Johnson has dedicated himself to building stronger communities in Texas. Before serving in the Legislature, he was one of the youngest individuals elected to the Houston City Council, representing District B. During his tenure in the Texas House, he championed legislation on public education, mental health, criminal justice reform, and economic opportunity, helping secure over $2.1 billion in investments for flood control, infrastructure, and community revitalization.

Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, welcomed Johnson's leadership, highlighting his experience and commitment to accountability. U.S. Term Limits is the nation's largest grassroots advocacy organization focused on establishing term limits at all levels of government, particularly for the U.S. Congress. The organization works with citizens and lawmakers to advance constitutional reforms aimed at increasing accountability and restoring trust in government.

Johnson's role as Texas State Co-Chair will involve building support for term limits across the state. Texas has a history of leading on constitutional principles and limited government, and Johnson plans to work with citizens statewide to make congressional term limits a reality.
