Delegate Michael J. Hough (R-3B) announced that he will introduce a term limits amendment when the Maryland General Assembly reconvenes in January 2014. The amendment proposes a three term (12 year) limit for both Delegates and State Senators. In order to refer an amendment to voters in Maryland, it must pass both chambers with a three-fifths vote.
Here’s how you can help enact term limits in Maryland:
- Write a letter to the editor of the Baltimore Sun, Capital Gazette, or other prominent newspapers
- Contact your representatives — Delegates and Senators — in the Maryland General Assembly to express your full support for term limits.
Term limits has always been a citizen-driven grassroots effort, and Maryland will be no exception. Only by reaching out directly to the legislature can statewide reform be achieved.
