Brings Strong Grassroots Experience

MADISON, WI, October 13, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — Today, U.S. Term Limits announces that Captain Jason Church (United States Army, retired) has agreed to be the Wisconsin State Chair for U.S. Term Limits. Church brings a depth of public service to this role. He has seen first-hand the need for term limits at the federal level and will work tirelessly in his role as Wisconsin State Chair to see that Wisconsin adopts a resolution for term limits.

“I am very honored to be serving as the Wisconsin State Chair for U.S. Term Limits,” said Jason Church. “Now more than ever before, the need for term limits is crystal clear. Polls show that the one issue Americans regardless of political affiliation are united about is the need for congressional term limits.

“We have members of Congress who were first elected when the Ford Pinto was the best-selling car in America and the 8-track tape was the next big thing. I can think of no better argument for term limits than that,” concluded Church. “Serving in Congress has become for many, a lucrative lifelong job rather than a public service. Term limits will help end career politicians and make Congress work better for all Americans.

“We are honored to have Jason leading our efforts in Wisconsin to pass term limits on Congress,” said Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits. “He is a strong leader who understands the problems within Congress and the need for term limits. Under his guidance, I am confident we will get our term limits resolution passed in Wisconsin.”
