Laura Perkins Appointed Nevada 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. 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. "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.

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. 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 appointment signals a strategic push in a key state where legislative action could contribute momentum to a national movement. The emphasis on bipartisan polling data underscores an attempt to frame term limits as a non-partisan reform issue, potentially increasing its political viability. The involvement of state-level leadership like Perkins and Brog highlights the organization's grassroots approach to building pressure for congressional change from multiple legislative fronts.

The announcement matters because it reflects a growing organized effort to institutionalize congressional turnover, which proponents argue could reduce careerism and increase governmental responsiveness. With claims of over 80% public support, the movement positions itself as aligning with majority will against entrenched political interests. The Nevada campaign could serve as a test case for whether state legislatures will formally petition Congress for a term limits amendment, a process outlined in Article V of the Constitution. Success in Nevada might encourage similar efforts in other states, potentially building toward the two-thirds state application threshold required to force Congress to consider an amendment. The focus on Nevada is strategic, as it is often considered a political bellwether state whose actions can influence national policy debates. This development represents a concrete step in a long-term advocacy campaign that seeks to alter the fundamental structure of congressional service, with implications for political accountability, legislative experience, and the balance of power between elected officials and their constituents.
