MATT CALDWELL RECEIVES TERM LIMITS AWARD
MELBOURNE, FL — State Representative and Candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture Matt Caldwell has been named the 2018 Florida Champion of Term Limits by U.S. Term Limits (USTL) for his commitment to term limits and citizen government.
“The term limits movement has no stronger ally in Florida than Matt Caldwell,” said U.S. Term Limits Executive Director Nick Tomboulides. “From protecting legislative term limits to advancing limits on offices like school boards and Congress, Matt has been a consistent champion for bringing government closer to the people.”
As a state representative, Caldwell has either co-sponsored or supported legislation that would apply term limits to Congress, school boards and Florida’s supreme court and appellate judges. In 2016, he played a critical role in making Florida the first state in the nation to call for the Term Limits Convention.
“Term limits have served Florida well, helping our state achieve competitive elections and best-in-the-nation rankings on fiscal health” said Tomboulides. “We’re grateful for leaders like Matt Caldwell who’ve worked to help expand this idea as much as possible.”
U.S. Term Limits is a national non-profit organization headquartered in Melbourne, FL, which fights for term limits at all levels of government. It helped in a grassroots capacity to put Amendment 8 on the November ballot, which allows all Florida voters the opportunity to implement term limits for school board members.
