The 30-Day Window: Why We Must Catch Candidates Before Washington Changes Them

With less than 30 days until Election Day, we are at a critical crossroads in the movement to restore a citizen legislature to Washington.

Right now, candidates across the country are listening to voters, taking debates seriously, and fighting for every single vote. This is our single best window of opportunity to get them on record supporting congressional term limits.

Once a candidate crosses the finish line and steps into power as an incumbent, everything changes.

We know this from decades of experience: incumbents rarely lose and, therefore, are far more resistant to signing the pledge. The moment a politician secures the keys to office, the desire to protect a lifelong career takes over.

Washington becomes less of a swamp and more of a hot tub—warm, comfortable, and very hard to leave.

If we don’t get candidates to sign the U.S. Term Limits pledge before Election Day, we lose our primary point of leverage for years.

Action on the Ground

Our team is on the ground right now, chasing down candidates in competitive federal and state races to get their signed commitments on the record. But with the clock ticking down to November, our outreach team needs immediate resources to ramp up campaign efforts.

Every day matters. Every unpledged candidate who wins without taking a stand is a missed opportunity for real constitutional reform.

Your emergency support today directly funds three critical initiatives:

Direct Outreach: Placing field staff and volunteers directly at candidate forums, town halls, and debates to hand-deliver pledges into the hands of hopeful officeholders.

Targeted Voter Alerts: Launching localized digital ads and text alerts urging voters to ask a simple question: “Have you signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge yet?”

Candidate Tracking: Applying public pressure on non-signers across media channels and digital platforms before early voting ends.

Closing the Loophole

Once the election is over, this vital opportunity closes. We must catch these candidates while they still need our votes. A signed pledge before they join the Washington establishment provides the public accountability necessary to ensure they keep their word once in office.

Thank you for standing with us and taking action when it matters most.
