Want a better Congress? Change the incentives. Term limits, stock trading bans, and a balanced budget amendment would shift focus from re-election to real results.

In most industries, we expect competition to keep things fresh and accountable. With a 13% approval rating and over a 90% re-election rate, Congress has had neither for a long time. Regularly opening seats restores voter choice and allows more people to run with a real change at being elected, adding to voters choice. Term limits don't replace your vote, they make sure it counts again. What do you think a little more competition would do for Congress?

Term limits open up the competition, and restores voter choice." The top right includes the USTL (U.S. Term Limits) logo and website URL, "termlimits.com.

"Representation might be strengthened w/ proportional representation, through which seats are allocated according to vote share in each district rather than on a winner-take-all basis."

The way to end the gerrymandering wars is to "give up our fixation on single-member districts and winner-takes-all elections, and use proportional representation."

Proportional Representation is THE answer to the division and extremism we have seen in our politics.

This is why proportional representation is the solution that makes sense. Every vote matters in November under proportional representation.
Is voter trust higher in the 3/4 of states where independents can ALREADY VOTE in primaries?

Not sure bipartisanship matters as much as people feeling they have a real choice when they vote.
Closed primaries, when there is no real competition in the general, disenfranchise well over half of voters. I'd also be interested in any relationship between that situation and voter trust.
(Note that I'm not disputing the point here, I'm offering a different argument for ditching closed primaries.)

Making an argument that some reforms are more effective than others is not "demonizing"
Going after me with ad hominem attacks rather than engaging with substance is far closer to "demonizing"
Here's the piece I wrote that challenged Open Primaries: leedrutman.substack.com/p/op…

Influence in Congress isn't earned — it's accumulated. The members who set the agenda and control the committees got there by staying, not by delivering. Does that sound like a system working for you?

More people vote when they believe it has an impact. More skilled people run when they believe they have a shot. Term limits create both of those conditions — open seats, real competition, and a government that keeps renewing itself.
That's how you inspire a generation to show up and get involved.
Term limits don't replace your vote — they make it count more. More open seats mean more choices, more competition, and more reason to believe showing up makes a difference.
What would it mean to you if the next generation grew up excited to vote, to run, and to serve?

The incentive shapes the behavior. Right now, the incentive is to keep the seat. Term limits replace that incentive putting the focus back on legislating. What do you think public service should look like?
ALT The image features the U.S. Capitol building with dollar bills floating around it. The text reads, "Members of Congress have two jobs: legislating and getting re-elected. Guess which one pays better. Term limits put the focus back on legislating." The logo of U.S. Term Limits (USTL) and the website termlimits.com are also displayed.

Don't you deserve to have real choices at the ballot box?
#ProportionalRepresentation
So many people will be forced to vote in November in an election in which only one party really has a chance at winning. This can be solved with Proportional Representation

Congress votes on its own pay, sets its own schedule, and holds an approval rating as low as 10% — and is still re-elected over 90% of the time. Now add this: members of both parties are suing the federal government for an estimated $69 million in back pay, arguing the process used to block their own cost-of-living raises wasn't legally proper. Congress was never meant to be a lifetime appointment. Term limit Congress.

"Multimember districts help alleviate the problem of one member deciding all of the priorities for that district, introducing healthy competition among the district’s representatives vying to be the most responsive to their constituents."

Decades in office tend to replace accountability with comfort. What do you think public service should actually look like?
ALT A split-image graphic shows the U.S. Capitol building on the top half and a residential street with an American flag on the bottom half. Overlaid text states, "Term limits ensure our lawmakers stay rooted in the reality of the citizens they represent. They serve their time, then return home to live under the laws they’ve passed."

America is already struggling politically as distrust and dysfunction spiral out of control. This will only get worse as programs like Social Security begin to falter in the early 2030s and home prices soar for young people. Good thing we know how to fix it.

Most people agree no one should spend 30 years in Congress. William Upham is running for Florida's 5th Congressional District on exactly that idea — serve, then step aside. Thank you William for signing the U.S. Term Limits pledge.
