The longer politicians spend in Washington, the less they represent us and the more they represent the special interests, the party bosses and their own career interests. But it doesn't have to be that way. When congressional candidates ask for our vote, we deserve to know whether they're looking to spend a lifetime in Washington as professional politicians or limited terms as public servants. Proposition 27 allows candidates to tell us on the record. A YES vote on Proposition 27 gives you important term limits information about candidates for Congress.
Term limits are a great success for our state legislature.
But we still have too many career politicians in Washington. As voters, we deserve to know whether a candidate will be a career politician or a citizen legislator. That gives us a real choice about who will represent us in the U.S. Congress. Proposition 27 is a simple way to allow candidates to make their intentions clear. As voters, we deserve to know.
