Washington, D.C. — U.S. Term Limits (USTL) is proud to announce that Ron Hooper, former CEO of an international telecommunications firm, has accepted the position of Western Regional Director. As founder and co-founder of both domestic and international companies, Ron understands the significance of strategic vision and executive leadership.
Hooper has been responsible for creating the business plan, go to market strategy and investor funding of several technology companies including Biztel/Dialnet, Avirnex Communications Group and Litescape Technologies. Ron brings the depth of understanding and the experience necessary to recruit grassroots advocates and negotiate with state legislators as he oversees term limits operations in states from Hawaii to Alaska, through the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and New Mexico.
Asked why he is passionate about the term limits movement, Hooper said, “In my opinion, there is ‘one thing’ that will put us back on track as a country ‘of the people’ and that’s term limits. We need to make it happen for ourselves and our families! I am proud to lead this effort in the western states.”
As regional director, Ron is responsible for introducing the U.S. Term Limits resolutions in western state legislatures by securing sponsors and identifying term limits champion lawmakers who will shepherd the measure through to a successful conclusion. Hooper is also tasked with directing the grassroots leadership teams who will engage volunteers and work to create opportunities for candidates and legislators to sign the term limits convention pledge as a key part of the overall strategy.
Scott Tillman, National Field Director of USTL says, “Ron brings a depth of knowledge and experience critical for building the teams, forging relationships, and strategic planning needed to help us get to the 34 states needed to trigger the term limits amendment convention. He is a valuable addition to our management team.”
The key western states targeted to pass the U.S. Term Limits’s Article V convention resolutions in 2020 are Arizona, Utah, and Colorado, among others. Hooper resides in Scottsdale, Arizona.
According to
a 2018 nationwide poll on term limits conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, term limits enjoy wide bipartisan support. An overwhelming 82% of voters approve of a constitutional amendment that will place term limits on members of Congress. Once a term limits on Congress proposal is agreed upon, 38 states must ratify it in order for it to become part of the Constitution.
