Laura Perkins Appointed Nevada State Co-Chair for U.S. Term Limits Advocacy

U.S. Term Limits announced that Laura Perkins has agreed to serve as the Nevada State Co-Chair for the organization, partnering with Co-Chair David Brog to advance congressional term limits legislation in the state. Perkins emphasized the critical need for term limits to address dysfunction in Washington, D.C., citing polling data that shows over 80% of Americans across political affiliations support such measures. She argued that congressional service has shifted from public service to lifelong entitlement, and term limits would enhance accountability and governmental efficiency.

Perkins stated, "I am honored to serve as the Nevada State Co-Chair for U.S. Term Limits. Now more than ever before, the need for term limits is crystal clear. Polls show that the one issue that unites all Americans regardless of political affiliation is the need for congressional term limits." She highlighted that this widespread support transcends partisan divides, making it a unifying issue in a polarized political landscape. Perkins will work with Brog to ensure the Nevada Legislature passes a resolution calling for congressional term limits, a step toward national reform.

Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, expressed confidence in Perkins' leadership, noting, "We are honored to have Laura leading our efforts in Nevada with David to pass term limits for Congress. Under their guidance, I am confident we will get our term limits resolution passed in Nevada." The organization, described as the largest grassroots term limits advocacy group in the country, focuses on connecting supporters with legislators to enact term limits at various government levels, with a particular emphasis on the U.S. Congress.

The appointment underscores a strategic move to leverage Perkins' background in public service and governance to mobilize support in Nevada. Her role involves coordinating efforts to pass a state resolution, which could contribute to a broader national movement for term limits. This initiative reflects growing public frustration with political incumbency and a desire for systemic change to improve governmental responsiveness and reduce careerism in Congress. The advocacy aligns with historical debates on term limits, often seen as a tool to curb corruption and promote fresh perspectives in leadership.

In conclusion, Perkins' appointment signals a renewed push for term limits in Nevada, backed by substantial public backing and organizational support. The effort aims to translate popular sentiment into legislative action, potentially influencing other states to follow suit. As political discourse continues to emphasize accountability and reform, the campaign for congressional term limits remains a focal point for advocates seeking to reshape American governance.
