U.S. Term Limits Appoints Nevada Co-Chair Amid National Push for Congressional Reform

U.S. Term Limits announced that Laura Perkins has agreed to serve as the Nevada State Co-Chair for the organization. Perkins will work alongside Co-Chair David Brog to advance a congressional term limits resolution through the Nevada Legislature. The appointment comes as polling indicates overwhelming bipartisan support for congressional term limits across the United States. This development matters because it represents a strategic move in a growing national movement to address perceived institutional stagnation in Washington, D.C., through structural reform rather than partisan politics.

"I am honored to serve as the Nevada State Co-Chair for U.S. Term Limits," said Laura Perkins. "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." Perkins cited data showing over 80% of Americans support congressional term limits regardless of political affiliation. This broad consensus across ideological lines gives the term limits movement unusual political leverage and suggests that institutional reform may be one of the few issues capable of bridging America's deep political divides.

Perkins expressed concern that serving in Congress has become "a lifelong entitlement rather than a public service" for many elected officials. She argued that term limits would improve accountability and make government work better for all Americans. "I look forward to working with David Brog and the team from U.S. Term Limits to ensure that the Nevada legislature adopts a resolution calling for congressional term limits," she concluded. The implication of this perspective is that career politicians may become disconnected from their constituents' needs, and regular turnover could foster fresh perspectives and reduce entrenched power structures that contribute to legislative gridlock.

Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, welcomed Perkins' leadership. "We are honored to have Laura leading our efforts in Nevada with David to pass term limits for Congress," Blumel said. "Under their guidance, I am confident we will get our term limits resolution passed in Nevada." U.S. Term Limits describes itself as the largest grassroots term limits advocacy group in the country, working to connect supporters with legislators and pass term limits at all levels of government. The organization focuses particularly on implementing term limits for the U.S. Congress. More information about their mission and activities can be found at https://termlimits.org.

The Nevada initiative represents part of a broader national strategy to address what advocates describe as dysfunction in Washington, D.C., through institutional reform. This matters because successful passage in Nevada could create momentum for similar efforts in other states, potentially building toward the 34-state threshold needed to call a constitutional convention for congressional term limits. The movement's significance lies in its attempt to change the fundamental structure of American governance rather than merely advocating for different policy outcomes within the existing system. If successful, such reforms could reshape the career trajectories of federal legislators and potentially alter the balance of power between congressional leadership and newer members.
