John Deaton Commits to Nation-Leading Term Limits Pledge as Part of Clean Hands Initiative

Promises to Introduce Constitutional Amendment Capping U.S. House and Senate Terms

BOSTON – John Deaton, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate challenging longtime incumbent Ed Markey, has committed to sponsoring legislation if elected that would amend the U.S. Constitution to impose term limits on all members of Congress: three (3) two-year terms in the House and two (2) six-year terms in the Senate. Deaton signed his personal pledge with U.S. Term Limits, committing to serve no more than two terms himself.

Term limits form a cornerstone of Deaton’s Clean Hands Initiative, aimed at restoring integrity, accountability, and fresh perspectives to Washington by ending the era of career politicians who prioritize special interests over the people they serve.

“Ed Markey has been in Congress for over 50 years, becoming the very definition of entrenched Washington elitism,” said Deaton. “Americans are tired of a dysfunctional Congress dominated by career politicians who enrich themselves, bow to special interests, and overstay their welcome at the expense of their constituents. In the spirit of Massachusetts, I’m proud to lead the fight for real reform through bold term limits and get Congress working for the American people again, not the other way around.”
